The information in this post is so important to get out and dialogue about. The data relatd to women's economic security is staggering. I think of the women I know - who in their working years are living paycheck to paycheck, and often barely that. It is hard to think about how difficult their lives will become as they age, lose the ability to earn money, having to live on the reduced income from social security, dealing with health costs, etc. This site and the information not only on this particular blog but on the entire site needs to be spread widely across this country. It needs to be connected to financial publications, professionals, etc. It is critical for the future of way too many women.

The Elder Economic Security Initiative is an exciting project that seeks to build economic security for elders through organizing, advocacy and research.
The Elder Economic Security Initiative enables policy makers, and others to develop policies and programs to help elders make ends meet. A key component of the initiative is the Elder Economic Security Standard Index (Elder Index). The Elder Index is a geographically-based measure of income needed for elders to make ends meet.
