It will be very interesting to see the younger generations of women age single, and alone, with no families of their own. Will they have enough saved for retirement? How will they make it? I have an older female relative -- single, childless, early 70s -- living in another relative's garage because they lost their job. Can't find another one that covers the bills, now health is failing. Without the help of nieces and nephews, she might be on the streets.

They will make it exactly as the men with no families of their own are making it.  As it happens, most of the women of my parents generation in our family never married and are childless.  They all had decent jobs - teachers, librarians, engineers, a pharmacist, and they are/ were doing ok income wise in retirement.  No one is/ was working in their 70s unless they want to.  And because they didn’t have any delusions counting on the “family”, they had arranged their lives to simplify the logistics - moving to apartments, establishing lots of connections, etc.  Some were able to stay home until the very end or close to it, some ended up in nursing homes - and they were ok with it.
