	abstract = {Using data from the 2004 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the authors examined the savings and retirement preparedness of non-married women between the ages of 51 and 64. Approximately 68  of the non-married women did not meet one of the criteria for retirement preparedness (i.e., having investment assets greater than 25  of their net worth). Multivariate regression analyses show that all else being equal, divorced women held significantly lower levels of net worth and were less likely to meet the criterion for being financially prepared for retirement than their widowed counterparts. The findings suggest that women with less income, less education, who were Black, and in poor health had lower levels of net worth and were less likely to meet the criterion for being prepared for retirement.},
