Women are $268,000 short of retirement
Description
Oct. 8 -- Lower earnings and longer lives are a powerful one-two punch that threatens to keep women on the ropes in retirement. A recent study measured the retirement savings divide between 45-year-old men and women. It found that women, on average, are more than $268,000 short of what they need to retire comfortably at 65. For the average man, it's $212,000. Bloomberg's Suzanne Woolley takes a closer look at why there's such a wide gender gap in retirement.
