Addressing barriers to retirement savings for women

Women lag far behind men in terms of retirement savings. Employers and the retirement industry can help narrow this gap by ensuring that benefits programs, overall, can meet the needs of the female workforce.

Key findings from the study

While there is no gender gap in access to retirement plans, women lag far behind men in terms of contributions, savings, and retirement confidence.

  

Typically lower incomes, higher debt--especially student loans--and shorter job tenures are some of the factors contributing to the gender savings gap.
