"In the 2001 Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), when asked if they had saved for retirement, 69% of working women said yes, compared with 74 percent of working men." (Chart 5, p.4)

"The Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS) has tracked Americans' financial preparations for retirement and their attitudes regarding retirement since 1991. The RCS is a random, nationally representative survey of Americans over age 25; both current workers (individuals who are not defined as retirees, regardless of employment status) and current retirees (individuals who are retired or who are 65 or older and not employed full-time) are surveyed, which allows comparisons across generations in terms of attitudes and financial preparations."
