It would have been hard to substantiate this meme a year ago when it was created, but not today: "While this percentage is alarming enough in its own right, some elderly are more at risk than others. As the figure shows, 52.6 percent of women, ages 65 and older, are “economically vulnerable,” compared with 41.9 percent of men, ages 65 and older. In fact, the shares of men at every level of the distribution above the “economically vulnerable” threshold are larger than the corresponding shares of women, and the shares of men are smaller at every level below the “economically vulnerable” threshold than the corresponding shares of women."
