    The Graying of Massachusetts: Aging, the New Rules of Retirement, and the Changing Workforce A JOINT PROJECT OF: SPONSORED BY: MassINC THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE FOR A NEW COMMONWEALTH Publisher of CommonWealth magazine A Project of the Economic Prosperity Initiative MassINC wishes to express its thanks to those individuals and organizations whose financial support makes our work possible. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. MassINC’s Mission The mission of MassINC is to develop a public agenda for Massachusetts that promotes the growth and vitality of the middle class. We envision a growing, dynamic middle class as the cornerstone of a new commonwealth in which every citizen can live the American Dream. Our governing philosophy is rooted in the ideals embodied by the American Dream: equality of opportunity, personal responsibility and a strong commonwealth. MassINC is a non-partisan, evidence-based organization. We reject rigid ideologies that are out of touch with the times and we deplore the too-common practice of partisanship for its own sake. We follow the facts wherever they lead us. The complex challenges of a new century require a new approach that transcends the traditional political boundaries. MassINC is a different kind of organization, combining the intellectual rigor of a think tank with the vigorous civic activism of an advocacy campaign. Our work is organized within four Initiatives that use research, journalism and public education to address the most important forces shaping the lives of middle-class citizens: • Economic Prosperity—Expanding economic growth and opportunity • Lifelong Learning—Building a ladder of opportunity through the continuum of learning • Safe Neighborhoods—Creating crime-free communities for all • Civic Renewal—Restoring a sense of "commonwealth" MassINC’s work is published for educational purposes.
