The Women’s Wealth Gap Glares Harsher than Ever, So It’s Time to Close It

Women face double discrimination based on gender & age. Age discrimination cost the economy $850 billion in 2018. The source of 33% of that cost: women being forced into early retirement. Addressing systemic barriers can help.#buildequity https://t.co/9M9Ftmwbbx @policydeb
