What's New from EBRI
Retirement expectations—gender and marital differences: EBRI’s most recent Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS) finds that, statistically, there are no differences in the age at which workers plan to retire by gender and marital status; all groups have median expected retirement age of 65.
Despite their longer life expectancy, women are statistically as likely as men to think they are very likely to live until age 85 (38 percent of women and 35 percent of men). Unmarried women, however, are more likely to say they are very likely to live until age 95 (15 percent) than unmarried men (9 percent) or married men (7 percent) and married women (8 percent).
Unmarried men, unmarried women, and married women are more likely than married men to say they are very or somewhat interested in purchasing an insurance product with a portion of their savings that begins providing guaranteed monthly income at some point in the future, such as age 80 or 85. Unmarried women are most likely to say they are interested (44 percent), followed by unmarried men (40 percent) and married women (40 percent). Married men are least likely to express interest (29 percent). MORE.
