BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) released its 10th annual Read on Retirement® report, revealing a significant confidence gap in retirement readiness. While 64% of workplace savers feel on track with retirement savings (up 23% over the decade), only 38% of employers believe the majority of their employees are prepared—a record low.

The report also reveals demographic disparities, with Gen X showing the lowest confidence at 54% and a persistent gender gap where 84% of men versus 73% of women feel secure about their savings.
In response, BlackRock's LifePath Paycheck® has gained significant traction, accumulating $24 billion in assets since its April 2024 launch, becoming the fastest-growing lifetime income target-date strategy in the defined contribution market.
