Study Finds Increased Retirement Investing Among Women but Concerns Over Corpus Longevity
Axis Max Life Insurance's Bharosa Talks India Retirement Index Study (IRIS 6.0) reveals increased financial preparedness among women for retirement. Seventy-one percent of women have started investing, notably more than men in fixed and recurring deposits. Despite this, only 30% expect their retirement corpus to last beyond 10 years. Women’s financial preparedness index rose from 50 to 52, while health and emotional preparedness showed slight declines. Many women aspire to retire before 60, with 45% aiming for financial independence before 50.
