Census: Childless older women better off than older men
Childless Older Adults FILE - In this Thursday, April 16, 2015, file photo, a couple watches the sunset over Biscayne Bay from a beach in Key Biscayne, Fla. About 1 in 6 adults age 55 and older are childless, and childless older women appear to be better positioned than men when it comes to health and wealth, according to a first-of-its-kind report released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Those older adults with children were more likely to be living with a spouse compared with childless older adults, while the childless were more likely to be living alone than parents, suggesting childless older adults have fewer sources of potential support in their homes, according to the report. The higher net worth of childless older women may put them at a greater advantage to hire paid care, the report said. “Childless older women appear to be in a more advantageous position than their male counterparts in later life," the report said.
