Teresa Ghilarducci (born July 22, 1957) is an American scholar on labor and retirement issues. She has advocated for the government to extend occupational retirement plan coverage to all workers. She published Rescuing Retirement (with Tony James) in 2018; the book makes the case for a Guaranteed Retirement Account that would supplement Social Security.
In 2016 she wrote a popular book, How to Retire with Enough Money: And How to Know What Enough Is. One of her most recent books, When I’m Sixty-Four: The Plot Against Pensions and the Plan to Save Them, investigates the loss of pensions on older Americans and proposes a comprehensive system of reform.
