Women's Wealth
The financial health of women relies on making unique decisions that are exclusive to them. At Baird, we provide the financial guidance for your personal and professional life, helping you balance the family and career demands of today while you prepare for the future that's right for you.
The reality is, when it comes to financial health, women have to make different calculations than men do. Consider:
The Gender Pay Gap
Women on average earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by men - a difference of more than $400,000 over a full-time career.
Unpaid Family Caregiving
Women are more likely to leave the workforce to care for family members, with the average lifetime earnings lost due to caregiving amounting to $295,000.
The Longevity Gap
Women on average live six years longer than men, and enter retirement with a 65% gap in retirement funds on average compared to men.
