Title: Financially vulnerable women
Author(s): Begley, Terri; Sharam, Andrea
Abstract: Divorce is a rough thing to go through for all involved, but supposedly women feel the financial strain more than men. A new study has found that single women over 40 are less likely to return to the housing market, and run the risk of poverty and homelessness as they grow older. With the number of financially vulnerable woman set to rise, how do we fix the problem?
