Gender impact of Social Security reform proposals
A study by the Social Security Administration shows raising the full benefits retirement age to 70 would cost male workers 36 percent more than women, while cutting the annual cost of living increase by one point would hit women 21 percent harder. The analysis links disparities to longer female life expectancy and longer periods with zero earnings due to caregiving. The findings accompany House hearings on solvency and reflect anticipated political opposition to benefit cuts or tax hikes. President Clinton’s plan relies on budget surpluses but avoids benefit cuts or tax changes, inviting negotiation.
