American Retirement Asso... Market Share Analysis for August 2026

Women’s Retirement Security Day is a national advocacy day, observed on the second Tuesday of July each year, to raise awareness of the retirement gender gap and promote agency and financial wellness among women. Saving for retirement can be a daunting task for anyone, but women are 15% less likely than men to consider their retirement savings on track. Why? While no two women are the same, when it comes to women’s retirement security, a few common systemic and situational factors tend to impact preparedness. The gender pay gap, time out of the workforce for parenting and caregiving, lack of access to retirement plans, and competing financial priorities or constraints, among other things, often impact women’s lifetime earnings and retirement savings. What’s more, women tend to live longer than men, so they need their retirement savings to last them longer into their golden years.
