| Annotation | This study examined the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and attitudinal and psychological attributes on the economic well-being of women aged between 55-69 years. Using multiple regression analysis on a sample of women from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, the study found that education, race, marital history, attitudes toward retirement and unemployment were predictors of economic well-being for women aged 55-64, while education, traditionality and work effort were predictors for women aged 65-69. Findings showed that older women were more likely than younger women to be economically disadvantaged, and that they rely on work to maintain or improve their standard of living. Social security and benefits were found to have limited impact on the economic well-being of women aged 55-69. |
