Women's Retirement: Issues and Solutions Presenters: Cindy Hounsell, President, The Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) Betty Meredith, CFA®, CFP®, CRC®, Director of Education and Research, International Foundation for Retirement Education (InFRE) Date recorded: September 11, 2011 Time: 2 Hours CE: 2.0 CE The older population—persons 65 years or older--numbered almost 40 million in 2009 (the most recent year for which data are available). They represent 13% of the U.S. population, or about one in every eight Americans. For every 135 women, there are 100 men. 42% of women are married (versus 72% of men), 41% are widowed (versus 13% of men), 13% are divorced, and 4% are single (about the same for men). While funding retirement today is a primary concern for all Americans, male or female, it is a well-known fact women accumulate less retirement assets than men. It’s also a well known fact that women live longer than men, so less assets accumulated, coupled with living longer, essentially guarantees a lower quality of life in retirement. Find out more about the issues women face, and what they can do to improve their retirement security, and what we can do as retirement professionals to help them make more informed decisions.	$29.00 Use coupon code FREEVIDEO to get the video for free.
