Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the United States, retirement income is supplied through the combination of a relatively modest, contributory social insurance programme; employer-provided (increasingly defined contribution savings) programmes; and individual retirement savings. The public programme supplies the vast majority of the income of the poorer half of the aged population; only the richest 20 per cent receive more from employer plans than from the public programme. Projections show that the public programme will have financial problems in the 2030s. Thereafter, revenues would have to be increased by a third or benefits cut by a quarter to restore financial balance. Despite widespread angst about the impact of longer lifespans and the retirement of the baby-boom generation, however, there is little serious discussion about how either the public- or private-sector programmes should be adjusted. In 2005, President Bush failed to generate significant public support for a plan partially to privatize the public-sector programme.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
