This report examines the valuable role women play as caregivers to both their children and to their aging parents. It looks at the impact of widowhood, and the difference in life expectancy between men and women and how that affects a growing number of older women –espeically those over age 86– who are living below the poverty line. And it examines the special role that Social Security plays in meeting the income security needs of women from communities of color.
