What Today’s Women Are Concerned About
The average American woman today is married (or has been married at some point in her life), and well over half of women under age 65 are employed, at least part time.
With that in mind, what are women in 2016 most worried about? Women in America today are most concerned about money issues, their families, their health, and the problems of time management and stress. Women's concerns vary significantly by the age and life stage of the woman, with concerns about family and stress dropping off after age 50, to be replaced by ever-increasing concerns about health as women age. Money concerns, however, appear with similar frequency among all groups up to age 70.
Money concerns are remarkably stable across all age groups until the woman reaches 70, at which time health overwhelms everything else. Women are most likely to be concerned with time, stress and life balance in the 30-39 age bracket. Time and stress concerns drop as major concerns after age 50.
