	abstract = {Income and wealth inequality in the United States have increased over the last several decades. We looked at whether these trends continue for older Americans as they age.

We compared income and wealth for all older households from 1989 through 2016 and found households in the top 20\% saw disproportionately greater gains than other households.

We also looked at income and wealth for a group of older Americans as they aged. We found disparities in income decreased, possibly due to the transition from working to retirement. Disparities in wealth increased, perhaps because of significant differences in the size of some assets, such as home equity.

	abstract = {Over the last decade, working women{\textquoteright}s access to and participation in employer-sponsored retirement plans have improved relative to men. In fact, from 1998 to 2009, women surpassed men in their likelihood of working for an employer that offered a pension plan{\textemdash}largely because the proportion of men covered by a plan declined. Furthermore, as employers have continued to terminate their defined benefit plans and switch to defined contribution plans, the proportion of women who worked for employers that offered a defined contribution plan increased. Women{\textquoteright}s higher rates of pension coverage may be due to the fact that they are more likely to work in the public and nonprofit sectors and industries that offer coverage, such as health and education.},
