Fidelity has surprising insights for women on IRAs, 401(k), retirement
Women have unique considerations when planning for a secure retirement; Fidelity has insight.
Planning for retirement may seem like it's years or even decades away. Yet planning and saving for retirement should start as early into your working years as possible. This is especially true for women since they have unique considerations.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), women are more likely to work in part-time jobs and have less access to retirement plans. That is partly because the responsibility of childcare (and elder care) still mostly falls on women, making it more difficult to have a traditional 9-5 job.
