Women face more obstacles than men in achieving a financially secure retirement. That's the conclusion of a recent report based on an online survey of 6,372 workers conducted by the Harris Poll between August and October 2017 for TransAmerican Retirement Studies. [See "Here and Now: How Women Can Take Control of Their Retirement" by TransAmerica Retirement Studies]. For starters, women earn only 80.5% of the salary of men. They are also more likely to work part-time and to take time off for parenting and caregiving, all of which hinders their ability to save and reduces their future Social Security benefits.
