The 2011 Social Security trustees report is far more optimistic about life expectancy than last year's report. It projects that men who turned age 65 in 2010 can expect to live another 18.6 years compared with the 18.1 figure projected in last year's report. Life expectancy for women at age 65 was projected at 20.7 years in the 2011 report, compared with 20.4 years in the 2010 report. This assumed increase in life expectancy is the largest factor in a projected deterioration in the program's finances. Read the complete Center for Economic and Policy Research byte here.
