Planning for retirement: Balancing parenthood and employment

Episode 20 - Regions Wealth Podcast Series

According to Pew Research, 27% of American women opt to put their careers on hold in order to raise a family. As the study points out, such family-related career interruptions can impact women’s economic prospects in a variety of ways, even contributing to the gender wage gap. However, one factor that often gets overlooked is the overall impact on retirement planning. In this episode of Regions Wealth Podcast, Senior Vice President and Private Wealth Advisor Lisa Harless joins us to discuss retirement planning considerations for anyone making the decision to put their career on hold in order to raise a family.
