PBS’s Retirement Revolution will be aired in separate, one-hour installments. The first episode, ‘Hazards and Vicissitudes,’ offers a look at the origins of retirement in the U.S. and the creation of Social Security and Medicare. In the second segment, ‘On Our Own,’ the focus shifts to how Americans are more personally involved today than previous generations in planning for their own retirement.

The program is scheduled for Monday, March 31.  Check your local PBS listings.
