Elderly women are far more likely to be poor than elderly men. Thirteen percent of women over 75 years old are poor compared to 6 percent of men.. Poverty rates for males and females are the same Since the World Bank (late 2016) estimates that 50.2% of the world’s extremely income-poor are children, that would mean roughly 35% of the world’s poor are women, assuming that a clear majority of the adult poor are female.
