Because their private pensions — if they have them at all — are lower and because Social Security puts working women at a disadvantage and grants no credit for years spent at home caring for children or aging parents, three-quarters of the elderly in poverty are women.

2. Gender bias in education
Gender bias in education is an insidious problem that causes very few people to stand up and take notice.
