It's worse than that. Benefits received today are from contributions when men made a greater percentage of the total.

Men die sooner

Because they are not paid equally, or are working unpaid as full time mothers....duh

Perhaps my case has not been typical, but I raised 2 wonderful children by myself with zero financial help. Their dad had brain cancer.

I really love hearing the social security commercials on radio for your 'sunset years security'. These ads paid for "with U.S. Taxpayers funds" ....

Now do this with African Americans

Because typically women leave the work force to raise their children, hence less earnings through lifetime, hence less contributed as contributions are done as percentage of earnings

Does this factor in men dying before their wives and having their wives be the benefactors?

Honest question: Could the fact that more women receive Soc. Sec. be related to the fact that women tend to live longer?

Yay, make your mum pay!

You are adamant about one parent working and the other parent staying home. What if spouse is disabled/dead? Stats don’t tell whole story.

Interesting

What do you think the stay-at-home moms do?
