And often that’s all done with less time spent in the workforce, thanks to caregiving and other responsibilities.
They’re behind the curve when it comes to retirement, too, with a smaller pool of money to save from to pay their expenses once they’re no longer working. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, health care is likely to cost them 20 percent more in retirement than it will men.
