Knowledge is Power

The PRRL produces unbiased, actionable findings aimed at enhancing understanding of the design and utilization of public sector defined contribution retirement plans.

Research produced by the PRRL is based on analysis of data contained in the Public Retirement Research Lab Database, the first-ever comprehensive database specific to public sector defined contribution plans.

​The ultimate goal of the PRRL is to enable a financially secure retirement for the nation’s public sector employees.


Data is the Key

Data collected and analyzed by the PRRL promises important benefits for plan sponsors, public sector retirement services providers, and policymakers. Among these are insights into:
  • the quality of participation in public sector defined contribution plans
  • asset allocation within public sector defined contribution plans
  • retirement income adequacy of public sector defined contribution plan participants
  • public sector defined contribution plan design trends, including automatic enrollment, contribution escalation, loans, and withdrawals
