Abstract

Beginning with the New Deal, efforts to secure the social and economic prosperity of employees after retirement have been developed. This process has lead to the evolution of the current system of corporate pension funds. Although millions of American workers invest in these funds each year, few have a clear understanding of how these funds work and the vulnerabilities that these funds face. In an effort to provide a more comprehensive understanding of corporate pension funds, this investigation provides: a history of pension funds in America, an overview of the types and structures of pension funds, a review of current trends in pension funds and a consideration of pension funds in the wake of corporate bankruptcy. This investigation concludes that there are both intrinsic and extrinsic problems with corporate pension funds. However, with no clear alternatives, the present system represents the best alternative for ensuring a prosperous retirement.
