Summary
In this book we are concerned with the financial inequalities that affect women in later life and the reasons for those inequalities which pervade the life course. Here we consider further the position of older women in the labour market and the continuing financial penalties associated with work and marital status that result in lower incomes and lesser assets in later life.
