Specifically, we explore how the propensity to save (more) is related to the choice of selecting a DB/DC plan and how these choices are affected by (1) financial knowledge, (2) financial confidence/skills, (3) and interest in this topic. Our primary focus is to explore the choice of enrolling into the DB/DC plan and the enrollment into the optional ORP savings plan.
