When surveyed in April 2020, 23 percent of Americans felt declined confidence in retiring comfortable, due to the coronavirus pandemic. When surveyed again in December 2020, a lower share, only 16 percent, felt declined confidence to retire. Meanwhile, a higher share (13 percent) felt increased confidence in April 2020. This share was lower in December that year, when only 11 percent had improved confidence to retire comfortably.

The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the retirement plans of households in the United States varied greatly across the generations considered. As of 2020, approximately one-quarter of the millennial surveyed (24 to 38 years of age) declared to have withdrawn from their emergency fund or savings account because of the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, this impact was reported by only ten percent of the respondents aged between 55 to 73 years (boomers).

Most retired people would have retired the same age as they did, even if they would have known in advance about the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and its impact on the world economy. The share was slightly lower among Asian retirees though, where one fifth stated they would have retired later if they would have known, and 23 percent would have retired earlier.

In 2023, nearly one in five nurses said that they would retire from nursing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to this 2023 survey, 18 percent of surveyed nurses stated they would likely retire from nursing as a consequence of the pandemic, of which seven percent said it to be extremely likely. Nonetheless, most responding nurses stated it was unlikely for them to retire due to COVID-19.

Only around one third of non-retired individuals worldwide thought of retiring the same age as planned despite the coronavirus crisis, as of 2021. Another third thought they would need to retire later than planned, while another third thought they would retire earlier than planned.

Update September 20, 2021: Data and overview updated to reflect data used in the September 15 story Over Half of States Have Rolled Back Public Health Powers in Pandemic. It includes 303 state or local public health leaders who resigned, retired or were fired between April 1, 2020 and Sept. 12, 2021. Previous versions of this dataset reflected data used in the Dec. 2020 and April 2021 stories.

Overview

Across the U.S., state and local public health officials have found themselves at the center of a political storm as they combat the worst pandemic in a century. Amid a fractured federal response, the usually invisible army of workers charged with preventing the spread of infectious disease has become a public punching bag.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, at least 303 state or local public health leaders in 41 states have resigned, retired or been fired since April 1, 2020, according to an ongoing investigation by The Associated Press and KHN.

According to experts, that is the largest exodus of public health leaders in American history.

Many left due to political blowback or pandemic pressure, as they became the target of groups that have coalesced around a common goal — fighting and even threatening officials over mask orders and well-established public health activities like quarantines and contact tracing. Some left to take higher profile positions, or due to health concerns. Others were fired for poor performance. Dozens retired. An untold number of lower level staffers have also left.

The result is a further erosion of the nation’s already fragile public health infrastructure, which KHN and the AP documented beginning in 2020 in the Underfunded and Under Threat project.

Findings

The AP and KHN found that:

• One in five Americans live in a community that has lost its local public health department leader during the pandemic
• Top public health officials in 28 states have left state-level departments ## Using this data To filter for data specific to your state, use this query

To get total numbers of exits by state, broken down by state and local departments, use this query

Methodology

KHN and AP counted how many state and local public health leaders have left their jobs between April 1, 2020 and Sept. 12, 2021.

The government tasks public health workers with improving the health of the general population, through their work to encourage healthy living and prevent infectious disease. To that end, public health officials do everything from inspecting water and food safety to testing the nation’s babies for metabolic diseases and contact tracing cases of syphilis.

Many parts of the country have a health officer and a health director/administrator by statute. The analysis counted both of those positions if they existed. For state-level departments, the count tracks people in the top and second-highest-ranking job.

The analysis includes exits of top department officials regardless of reason, because no matter the reason, each left a vacancy at the top of a health agency during the pandemic. Reasons for departures include political pressure, health concerns and poor performance. Others left to take higher profile positions or to retire. Some departments had multiple top officials exit over the course of the pandemic; each is included in the analysis.

Reporters compiled the exit list by reaching out to public health associations and experts in every state and interviewing hundreds of public health employees. They also received information from the National Association of City and County Health Officials, and combed news reports and records.

Public health departments can be found at multiple levels of government. Each state has a department that handles these tasks, but most states also have local departments that either operate under local or state control. The population served by each local health department is calculated using the U.S. Census Bureau 2019 Population Estimates based on each department’s jurisdiction.

KHN and the AP have worked since the spring on a series of stories documenting the funding, staffing and problems around public health. A previous data distribution detailed a decade's worth of cuts to state and local spending and staffing on public health. That data can be found here.

Most non-retired individuals worldwide wanted to save more towards their retirement after the outbreak of the coronavirus compared to what they planned before, as of 2021. Only around one fifth of non-retirees wanted to save the same amount as planned before the pandemic.

Retirement is a pivotal life transition that often changes routines, identity, and objectives. With increasing life expectancies and evolving societal norms, examining the interplay between retirement anxiety and life satisfaction is vital. This study delves into this relationship, recognising the complexities of retirement. A systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines. Research from 2003 to 2023 was sourced from databases like CINAHL, PubMed/Medline, PsycINFO, ERIC, and Google Scholar, focusing on diverse methodologies and outcomes related to retirement registered in Prospero database (CRD42023427949). The quality assessment used an eight-criterion risk of bias scale, and analyses included qualitative and quantitative approaches, such as random-effects meta-analysis and moderator analyses. After reviewing 19 studies with varied geographical and demographic scopes, a mixed relationship between retirement and life satisfaction emerged: 32% of studies reported a positive relationship, 47% were negative, and 21% found no significant correlation. Meta-analysis indicated high heterogeneity and non-significant mean effect size, suggesting no consistent impact of retirement on life satisfaction. Moderator analyses highlighted the influence of measurement tools on outcomes. The findings reveal a complex interplay between retirement anxiety and life satisfaction, stressing the need for holistic retirement policies that encompass mental health, social integration, and adaptability, focusing on cultural sensitivity. Challenges include potential biases in data sources, methodological diversity, the scarcity of longitudinal studies, and difficulties in addressing recent societal shifts, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Variability in measurement tools and possible publication bias may have also influenced results. This study contributes to understanding retirement, emphasising the relationship between retirement anxiety and life satisfaction. It advocates for ongoing, detailed, culturally informed research to grasp retirement’s multifaceted aspects fully.

Footnotes:1Gender refers to an individual's personal and social identity as a man, woman or non-binary person (a person who is not exclusively a man or a woman). Gender includes the following concepts: gender identity, which refers to the gender that a person feels internally and individually; gender expression, which refers to the way a person presents their gender, regardless of their gender identity, through body language, aesthetic choices or accessories (e.g., clothes, hairstyle and makeup), which may have traditionally been associated with a specific gender. A person's gender may differ from their sex at birth, and from what is indicated on their current identification or legal documents such as their birth certificate, passport or driver's licence. A person's gender may change over time. Some people may not identify with a specific gender.2Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category “non-binary persons” are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the “+” symbol.3Age' refers to the age of a person (or subject) of interest at last birthday (or relative to a specified, well-defined reference date).4The median income of a specified group is the amount that divides the income distribution of that group into two halves, i.e., the incomes of half of the units in that group are below the median, while those of the other half are above the median. Median incomes of individuals are calculated for those with income (positive or negative).5Average income of a specified group is calculated by dividing the aggregate income of that group by the number of units in that group. Average incomes are calculated for those with income (positive or negative).6Total income refers to the sum of certain incomes (in cash and, in some circumstances, in kind) of the statistical unit during a specified reference period. The components used to calculate total income vary between: – Statistical units of social statistical programs such as persons, private households, census families and economic families; – Statistical units of business statistical programs such as enterprises, companies, establishments and locations; and – Statistical units of farm statistical programs such as farm operator and farm family. In the context of persons, total income refers to receipts from certain sources, before income taxes and deductions, during a specified reference period. In the context of census families, total income refers to receipts from certain sources of all of its family members, before income taxes and deductions, during a specified reference period. In the context of economic families, total income refers to receipts from certain sources of all of its family members, before income taxes and deductions, during a specified reference period. In the context of households, total income refers to receipts from certain sources of all household members, before income taxes and deductions, during a specified reference period. The monetary receipts included are those that tend to be of a regular and recurring nature. Receipts that are included as income are: * employment income from wages, salaries, tips, commissions and net income from self-employment (for both unincorporated farm and non-farm activities); * income from investment sources, such as dividends and interest on bonds, accounts, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) and mutual funds; * income from employer and personal pension sources, such as private pensions and payments from annuities and registered retirement income funds (RRIFs); * other regular cash income, such as child support payments received, spousal support payments (alimony) received and scholarships; * income from government sources, such as social assistance, child benefits, Employment Insurance benefits, Old Age Security benefits, COVID-19 benefits and Canada Pension Plan and Québec Pension Plan benefits and disability income. Receipts excluded from this income definition are: * one-time receipts, such as lottery winnings, gambling winnings, cash inheritances, lump-sum insurance settlements and tax-free savings account (TFSA) or registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) withdrawals; * capital gains because they are not by their nature regular and recurring. It is further assumed that they are more relevant to the concept of wealth than the concept of income; * employers' contributions to registered pension plans, Canada Pension Plan, Québec Pension Plan and Employment Insurance; * voluntary inter-household transfers, imputed rent, goods and services produced for barter and goods produced for own consumption.7The reference period for this variable is calendar year 2019.

According to Cognitive Market Research, the global Retirement Home Services market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.90% from 2023 to 2030. Rising Global Life Expectancy Is Driving The Growth of the Market

People are living longer lives than they were a few decades ago. This is due to low rates of cardiovascular and infectious disease mortality. The majority of deaths in the world were caused by three primary health conditions: ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and stroke.

Since the 1990s, the average number of fatalities has grown. The number of people dying from illnesses such as heart disease has increased as the world population has grown.

The decrease in age-specific mortality rates for various illnesses is evidence of the healthcare industry's success.Life expectancy increases as a result of breakthroughs in public healthcare facilities and significant developments in the healthcare business, as well as higher living standards, increased nutrition, better education, and lifestyle changes. An individual's global average age is mostly determined by living conditions and place of residence. These factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.

Technological Developments Will Boost Market Expansion

During the forecast period, technological advancements in long-term healthcare are anticipated to propel market expansion. This is brought on by the increase in Internet usage, which has sparked the development of online marketplaces, mobile apps, and mHealth. There is a rising need for support services including smartphone apps, trackers, wearables, communication tools, and smart alarms. These tools allow nurses and caregivers to monitor, document, and observe patients as well as connect with medical specialists.The use of computer and mobile phone-based patient data management among these technologies is spreading throughout long-term care.

Apps that create electronic health records (EHRs) and mobile health records (MHRs) are now available, making it simpler for consumers and healthcare professionals to access and exchange health information.

(Source:health-e.in/blog/phr-apps-india/)

The main technological advancements are mHealth and mobile-based healthcare applications that produce electronic health records (EHRs) and mobile health records (MHRs). When there are medical emergencies, other technologies, like alarm integration methods, are employed to notify service providers and caregivers. As they lessen the dependency on carers, smart houses are becoming more popular in industrialized nations. Thus, the market's expansion over the course of the forecast period will be fueled by the rising acceptance of such cutting-edge technical solutions.

The Aspects of the Retirement Home Services Market are Limitingits Growth

Negative Reputation Of Retirement Homes Is A Significant Barrier To Market Growth

Though living in the comfort of one's own home is always preferable, living in an old age home has its advantages. However, just a few old age facilities provide the bare minimum of quality for a comfortable stay. The cost of services supplied by old age homes is heavily influenced by the quality of those services. Many individuals enroll in retirement homes that lack basic infrastructure and services because they cannot afford the hefty service fees. Residents at nursing facilities are rarely given privacy. The environment in certain nursing facilities frequently results in despair, boredom, neglect, and, in some cases, abuse.

Impact of COVID-19 on The Retirement Home Services Market

Due to the risk of getting the virus in communal living arrangements, the pandemic has reduced demand for retirement homes. However, the epidemic has increased demand for retirement homes that provide specialized nursing care services. Retirement homes that provide specialized services for nursing care are growing more popular as individuals seek a safe and comfortable place to live. Introduction of Retirement Home Services

A retirement home is a multi-residence living complex designed for the elderly, sometimes known as an old people's home or old age home. Everyone or a couple resides in a room or suite of rooms that is akin to an apartment. There are more facilities in the building. This will include places for gathering, eating, playing, and receiving some kind of healt...

When surveyed in early 2021, more than a year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the French were more pessimistic than the rest of the countries in which the survey was conducted regarding the time it would take for their retirement savings balance to return to its pre-pandemic level. Just over half (55 percent) thought it would take them one year or less, compared to nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of people in the rest of the countries surveyed.

The number of cases over time is reported by the result date of the client's first positive lab result where available; otherwise by the date they are reported to public health. Prior to April 2, 2022, total COVID-19 cases included laboratory-diagnosed cases (confirmed and probable) as well as epi-linked cases. Prior to June 4, 2020, the total number of cases included only laboratory-diagnosed cases.As of January 14, 2022, the data source for "Currently Hospitalized" has changed to better reflect hospital capacity. Comparisons to numbers before this date should not be made.As of April 2, 2022, death is defined as an individual who has died from any cause, within 30 days of a first COVID-19 positive lab result date. Prior to April 22, 2022, death information was collected by Regional Health Authorities and defined as any death related to COVID-19. Comparisons between these time periods are not advised.Epidemiologic Indicators"Currently Hospitalized" is the number of people who test positive for COVID-19 through hospital screening practices, regardless of the reason for admission, as recorded in PCMS on the day the dashboard is refreshed. It is reported by the hospital in which the patient is hospitalized, rather than the patient's health authority of residence.Critical care values (intensive care units, high acuity units, and other critical care surge beds) include individuals who test positive for COVID-19 and are in critical care, as recorded in PCMS.The 7-day moving average is an average daily value over the 7 days up to and including the selected date. The 7-day window moved - or changes - with each new day of data. It is used to smooth new daily case and death counts or rates to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations and to more clearly identify the most recent trend over time.The following epidemiological indicators are included in the provincial case data file:Date: date of the client's first positive lab result.HA: health authority assigned to the caseSex: the sex of the clientAge_Group: the age group of the clientClassification_Reported: whether the case has been lab-diagnosed or is epidemiologically linked to another caseThe following epidemiological indicators are included in the regional summary data file:Cases_Reported: the number of cases for the health authority (HA) and health service delivery area (HSDA)Cases_Reported_Smoothed: Seven day moving average for reported casesLaboratory IndicatorsTests represent the number of all COVID-19 tests reported to the BCCDC Public Helath Laboratory since testing began mid-January 2020. Only tests for residents of B.C. are included.COVID-19 positivity rate is calculated for each day as the ratio of 7-day rolling average of number of positive specimens to 7-day rolling average of the total number of specimens tested (positive, negative, indeterminate and invalid). A 7-day rolling average applied to all testing data corrects for uneven data release patterns while accurately representing the provincial positivity trends. It avoids misleading daily peaks and valleys due to varying capacities and reporting cadences.Turn-around time is calculated as the daily average time (in hours) between specimen collection and report of a test result. Turn-around time includes the time to ship specimens to the lab; patients who live farther away are expected to have slightly longer average turn around times.The rate of COVID-19 testing per million population is defined as the cumulative number of people tested for COVID-19/B.C. population x 1,000,000. B.C. Please note: the same person may be tested multiple times, thus it is not possible to derive this rate directly from the number of cumulative tests reported on the B.C. COVID-19 Dashboard.Testing context: COVID-19 diagnostic testing and laboratory test guidelines have changed in British Columbia over time. B.C.'s testing strategy has been characterized by four phases: 1) Exposure-based testing (start of pandemic), 2) Targeted testing (March 16, 2020), 3) Expanded testing (April 9, 2020), 4) Symptom-based testing (April 21, 2020), and 5) Symptom-based testing for targeted populations (a-are at risk of more severe disease and/or b-live or work in high-risk settings such as healthcare workers) and Rapid Antigen Tests deployment (January 18, 2022). Due to changes in testing strategies in BC in 2022, focusing on targeted higher risk populations, current case counts are an underestimate of the true number of COVID-19 cases in BC and may not be representative of the situation in the community.

The new pension reform of 2023 was adopted on March 17th. But according to a survey conducted at the beginning of March only 36 percent of French respondents had accepted the raise of legal retirement age from 62 to 64. Weaknesses of the pension system When talking about pension schemes, it is common to distinguish between two systems: the distribution system and the capitalization system. The distribution system is based on the principle of solidarity between generations: working people pay monthly contributions to the pension funds, which redistribute them to current retirees. The capitalization system, on the other hand, requires working people to save throughout their working lives, thus accumulating a sort of rent (a capital) that they will draw on once they have retired. While in practice many countries combine the two methods, France is the exception with its system set up in 1945, based solely on distribution. Although it is presented as a stable system, unique in the world, it has a weakness: it depends on demographics and a balanced ratio between the number of active contributors and the number of retirees so that enough people can finance the pensions of older people. Yet, population aging, longer life expectancy, and the growing share of seniors in the French demographic imply that people spend more time in retirement today than they did a few decades ago. This system is therefore tending to run out of steam, which makes the question of its financing a key issue. Hence the desire of the public authorities to seek solutions to ensure its sustainability and the reform proposals. Raising legal retirement age, an ineffective measure? If the COVID 19 pandemic had made Emmanuel Macron renounce his project of universal pension - then considered unfair by Solidaires Finances Publiques (1st union of the French Public Finance Department) - the government would not abandoned the idea of a reform, which made the preservation of the social model depend. This time, the goal is financial: pension expenses represented 13.4 percent of the gross domestic product in 2023, and are increasing, and the current government persists in wanting to reduce the share of wealth devoted to these expenses. However, although the postponement of the legal retirement age is presented as a necessary measure by the government, Solidaires Finances Publiques estimated, in its fiscal and social report of the five-year term, that "in a context of mass unemployment, raising the retirement age is an economic aberration that only shifts the question of financing inactivity to other social benefits (unemployment, disability, minimum income)". According to the Cour des Comptes (France's supreme audit institution), the increase in the legal retirement age from 60 to 62 in 2017 generated approximately three billion euros in additional expenses. Raising the legal retirement age without addressing the issue of unemployment, and in particular that of seniors, and without measures to improve working conditions would thus be a dead end according to unions.Presenting pension reform as the only way to preserve the French social model has an advantage for the presidential majority. This assertion makes it possible to disqualify anyone who would protest against the reform, which many consider to be anti-social and which would lead to a significant loss of income for part of the population. By making the pension reform the only way to preserve a unique system in the world, the government, through its rhetoric, presents the opponents as the destroyers of the French social system, which it could perpetuate by making other budgetary choices, such as the fight against tax evasion, which costs France several billions of euros each year, the implementation of a tax on super-profits, or the re-establishment of the wealth tax.
