Working Women Over 70 Caught in the Retirement Trap At 74 ，Marie Maes is scrambling to find a work.

Even though she spent four 1 working in Colorado hospitals and Seattle nursing homes，the retired licensed practical 2 lives just above the poverty line on little more than $12 a day after she pays her rent.

She is among a near-record and 3 number of women working well into their 70s, thanks to smaller Social Security checks，4careers，smaller pensions，longer life spans than men and bad 5 planning.

"Of course I 6to get back to work," said Maes,a direct and optimistic woman. Asked whether she considers herself poor，she replied， " I never gave it a thought，but I guess I

Over the past 14 years，the number of women 8 in the United States between the ages of 70 and 74 nearly 9 from 324,000 to 618,000，according to the Labor Department.

More elderly people are looking for work these days，10 city job fairs not necessarily because they want to, 11 because they need the money.

Single older women like Maes are particularly weak. Nearly one in five of them lives in 12 ，more than three times the rate of the 13people of the same age. And many carry fewer resources into their 70s than men.

The gap suggests the nation's retirement system is 14 Maes and plenty of other women. Instead of 15 the New Mexico native for decades of hard work,it left her an empty bank account, $824 a month from Social Security and 16 to get back to work.

Maes' 17 is not uncommon. She started work later in life, 18 less money and relied on her husband to prepare for their retirement.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Wednesday that boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games is not the right path to take.

"We are ever excited about prospects for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing," Mili?band said in an interview with Chinese reporters in London before his visit to China.

"Everything we have seen and read suggests that preparations are proceeding in an excellent way. We very much look forward to a very successful Olympics, successful for China and suc?cessful for the world. We certainly believe that boycotts are not a right way," he said.

"China has big responsibilities around the world. We are looking forward to working with the Chinese government to ensure the values of stability, security and social justice. And only today I spoke with (Chinese Foreign Minister) Yang about our joint work that could help the situation in Darfur. And the Chinese envoy(特使)to Darfur is in London today, that sort of en?gagement is the right way to go and boycotts are not the right way，" Miliband said.

"The prime minister (Gordon Brown) is determined to represent the whole of the country with his attendance to the Games," he added.

Miliband expressed his high regard to the bilateral(双边的)relations between Britain and China. "I can't think about a time that our relations are stronger, that is symbolized by the visit of the prime minister to China last month but also by cultural events like China now going on in Britain.”

British people are fascinated by the changes and improvements going on in China, and are trying to build bridges between the two nations, the foreign secretary said.

"Both our countries are challenged by the facts of globalization. Economic and social changes are producing challenges for both the societies，challenges about security and stability， challenges about justice，challenges about environment，and the theme of my visit is how our two countries can work together and learn from each other in adapting to these challenges”，the secretary told Chinese reporters.
