| Annotation | Less than 20% of baby boom women in the US can feel secure about their future retirement. Even those who are married, with higher education qualifications, receiving high earnings and owning a home who might expect a comfortable retirement may face economic jeopardy from risks such as divorce or job loss. This study reports on an in-depth examination of three key structural variables affecting the future retirement of baby boom women: population ageing, participation in the workforce, and retirement income sources. The study's findings reveal that baby boom women's retirement will not look like men's retirement patterns; that traditional sources of retirement income - social security, employer pensions and personal savings - for most baby boom women will be insufficient; and that baby boom women will enter retirement as society's caregivers of the country's older people.
