| Abstract: | Conclusion A more complete analysis of the race factor in Social Security would expand from here in the following ways. First, projected
earnings would be forecast for both races to compute race-specific benefit-tax ratios. Second, more complete family formation
data would permit the projection of dependent-less benefit-producing events, not just spouse-less benefitproducing events.
Additional computations would be performed for female workers and two-earner families. A satisfactory weight (or a rationale
for the present one) would be assigned to survivor benefits. The end-result would be benefit-tax ratios for both races, not
just for set-piece workers. |
