Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "triple jeopardy" faced by African-American and Latino women refers to ageism (discrimination based on age), sexism (discrimination based on gender), and racism (discrimination based on race). These factors all contribute to lower levels of income and financial support in the elder years for these women. Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment, poverty, inadequate housing, job displacement, and lack of medical care may also be factors, but they do not represent the "triple jeopardy" specifically faced by African-American and Latino women.
