Disruptive divorce: gendered implications for later-life work and retirement outcomes

By Belinda Steffan

 

Belinda Steffan is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh Business School. 

Belinda’s story is about divorce and how it reinforces some gendered dimensions of economic inequality, such as the gender pension gap and women’s lower life-long financial autonomy. Divorce reduces choice around later-life work and retirement decisions. Drawing on the theory of accumulates (dis)advantage over the life-course, Belinda highlights the need for gendered budgeting policies and education around female financial autonomy throughout the life-course.
