| Annotation | Two waves of a US Social Security Beneficiary survey were analysed to consider differences in the retirement resources of women and men based on their marital status, race and ethnicity. Despite increased workforce participation, the economic situation of single women, including white women, worsened over time. A bifurcation in retirement resources was found: while men relied more on private income sources, women depended more on social security. Current retirement policies based on privatisation will continue to adversely impact women who work in low-paid jobs, receive lower wages, and live longer than men. (KJ/RH). |
