Financial Security
Clearinghouse Connector – December 2009
This edition of the Clearinghouse Connector profiles information resources that explore the issue of financial security.
There is growing interest in the association between financial disadvantage and poor health. Financial security depends largely on access to a continuous reasonable income. Women are more likely to experience financial disadvantage because they may enter and exit the workforce to have children and are often in less well paid employment than men.
