Question:

Currently a firm pays 10% of each employee’s salary into a retirement account, regardless of whether the employee also contributes to the account. The firm is considering changing this system to a 10% match meaning that the firm will match the employee’s contribution into the account up to 10% of each employee’s salary. Some people at the firm think this change will lead employees to save more and therefore be more able to afford to retire at a younger age, while others believe this change will lead employees to have less retirement savings and therefore be less able to afford to retire. Explain why either point of view could be correct.
