Women, Ethnic Elders, and Aging

Investigate the financial options for: (1) a single 70-year-old man who has worked for 50 years, paid into Social Security, and is collecting Social Security payments; and (2) a single 70-year-old woman who has worked for 50 years privately providing childcare and cleaning homes, did not pay into Social Security, and is not able to draw on Social Security.

 

  • What are their options for support?
  • Is there a difference based on ethnicity for the woman?
  • If so, what do the differences tell you about ethnic and gender bias?
