The Gap in Retirement Income Between Men and Women Is Shockingly Large
Most people have heard about the gender pay gap by now, as workplace salary data have clearly and consistently demonstrated men are paid more than women. But have you heard about the retirement income gap?
Sadly, new research from the National Institute on Retirement Security has shown that men, on average, have much more money in retirement than women. And while this may not be a surprise, it has profound consequences -- especially since women tend to live longer and may be more at risk of having too little money to ensure a comfortable retirement throughout the whole of their lives.
