UK Female Insolvency Increases

Posted on: Wed 5 Feb 2020

A UK based study has found a staggering 88% increase in insolvencies amongst women aged 65 and over from 2008 to 2018.

Insolvencies amongst men aged 65 and above also increased, though only by 29%. 

Feminist Insider, Meaghan King from the YWCA, joins Breakfast’s Tom Mann and Zoe Kounadis to discuss these happenings and other news from the feminist sector.
