She is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation in northern Montana. Her research work has focused on measurement and survey data collection, along with impacts on specific populations, primarily Native American/Indigenous population in the United States. She served on First Lady Hillary Clinton's Health Care Reform initiative. Her tribal membership and personal experiences of living on the Reservation have given her insight that she has used throughout her career. These experiences have also given her many opportunities to bring focus on 1 The views and opinions expressed in the conversation are those of the interviewee and do not necessarily reflect the policy or position of the Statistical Journal of the International Association for Official Statistics, nor IOS Press.

The project focused on conducting a nationwide household survey to confirm aid distribution and quantify the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew (five-weeks later). In this small-scale survey, SwB explored the following topics (a) aid distribution, (b) impact of Matthew, and (c) health issues. Only 18% of the people have received aid. The results of the study indicate that aid distribution, a thorny issue, needs to be given still more thought. 2 Monica Dashen Rachel Green 1 The views and opinions expressed in the conversation are those of the interviewee and do not necessarily reflect the policy or position of the Statistical Journal of the International Association for Official Statistics nor IOS Press. 2 Monica and Rachel want to express their gratitude to Denise Bradford and Saida Zardi (of Statistics without Borders, (SwB)) for assistance in generating two tabulations. In addition, and just as important, Monica and Rachel want to let the readers know that the success of the survey was possible because of Antoine Wesner and his students (Chancy, Emilio, Frantzlande, Ginny and Mackennison) who provided knowledge in the study design and execution.

I would also like to thank the many past and present colleagues at the Center on Aging for their generosity in the day to day conversations we have shared, allowing me to expand my "consultable record." Last but not least, thank you to my friends who have been understanding and supportive. In particular, I would like to thank my pre-graduate school friends-Hallie, Cathy, Nancy and Heidiwho have kept me grounded, even while I have resided within the "academic ivory tower." To my "Princeton" friends-Deb Garvey, Fadi Maamari, Dexter Chu, West Addison, and Charles Nagatoshi-I will always be grateful for your friendship and generosity in some very trying times.

Research paper thumbnail of The retirement planning gap: A view from the public sector

This article examines retirement planning at a public university in South Florida, where contemporary demographics mirror the nation's expected demographics in 2010. Like their private sector counterparts, our respondents believe quality of life at retirement will be favorable. Yet many respondents appear to be under-saving for retirement and fail to recognize that part-time employment is likely to be an integral part of their retirement experience. As expected, socioeconomic factors, particularly education, gender, and ethnicity, play a significant role in determining retirement planning and perceived quality of life in the “Golden Years.” Investment literacy is limited among many of our respondents, particularly females and minorities. This is critical in light of increased reliance on defined contribution pensions and possible reforms in Social Security.

Three major issues are discussed: Not all United States residents aged 65 and older are enrolled in Medicare either by law, or by preference. Correction factors need to be applied to the Medicare Enrollment Database (MEDB) to obtain an accurate estimate of the size and distribution of the United States population on April 1, 2010 by single year of age, sex, and race. There are records in the MEDB that should be excluded from the DA estimates. This includes people under 65 who qualify for Medicare, enrollees with residences outside of the United States, and records for people who were deceased as of April 1. The MEDB contains records with unknown and missing race codes. Also, Hispanic origin is recorded as a race catego...
