Join Diane Garnick '12 (XP-81) for a discussion on the Gender Retirement Gap
Event Details
Many people save for retirement through their employer, who in turn applies gender-neutral saving rates, investment choices, and spending strategies in retirement. Intuitively this creates a sense of fairness, but this intuition masks the reality that many women face. Lifetime earnings and spending in retirement are anything but average for women. Consequently, the challenges women face are arguably greater than those confronted by men.
Speaker Diane Garnick '12 (XP-81), Managing Director and Chief Income Strategist at TIAA, leads this discussion on the Gender Retirement Gap.
