Women are more likely to experience poverty than men. A higher percentage of women over 75 are in poverty compared to men of the same age, and women are paid less than men even with the same qualifications and hours worked. Domestic and sexual violence can contribute to pushing women into poverty. To address women's poverty, policies should aim to provide decent employment opportunities and social services like healthcare, childcare, and housing support to help families.
