Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) In the 50 years since Title IX's passage, women have made major economic progress in education, earnings, and wealth. (2) They have also become more independent, with late baby boomers spending less than half their adult lives married. (3) Moving away from marriage, by reducing support from a spouse, could have put women more at risk for retirement. (4) However, the results show that women who spend most of their lives single are as well prepared for retirement as married couples.
