A recent report on women and retirement conducted by the Government
Accountability Office found:
* Women have less retirement income than men, largely because of
women's lower labor force attachment and lower earnings, on
average;
* Fewer women than men have income from most major retirement
sources, and women have less income from these sources;
* Women's median Social Security income is 70 percent of
men's; and
* Fewer women than men have pensions. View the full report at
