"This study examines [U.S.] racial and gender differences in income (earnings, social security benefit, pension, and assets income) before and after retirement, employing data from the Social Beneficiary Survey.... It was found that human capital, in terms of formal education, positively affects income from all four sources examined, and also serves as an important intervening variable, reducing the income disadvantage of nonwhites, but not of women.... Contrary to public belief, this study finds that racial and gender inequality continues to exist after retirement, as well as before." (EXCERPT)
