The rate of "gray divorce" — a term that describes divorce at age 50 and older — doubled from 1990 to 2019, according to a 2022 study published in The Journals of Gerontology. The 'chronic economic strain' of gray divorceIn heterosexual relationships, gray divorce typically "has more negative implications for women than for men," said Kamila Elliott, a certified financial planner and co-founder of Collective Wealth Partners, based in Atlanta. Altogether, women's standard of living declined by 45% following a gray divorce, while the drop for men was less severe, at 21%, Brown and Lin wrote. These negative economic outcomes persisted over time, "indicating that gray divorce operates as a chronic economic strain," they said. For example, let's say a husband is eligible for a larger Social Security benefit relative to his female spouse.

The United States has been pumping so much groundwater it's splitting the ground open. Brian Conway/AZGSBut humans are pumping groundwater faster than Earth can naturally replenish it. A giant fissure in the Mojave Desert in California from groundwater pumping near Lucerne Lake. And four out of every 10 sites hit "all-time lows" in the past decade as American groundwater pumping outpaces water replenishment, per the Times. As a result, the severity of excessive groundwater pumping nationwide is not as easy to recognize and may help explain why regulation on pumping is so limited.

▼ + stars: | 2023-02-09 | by ( Tim Hepher | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Barring a rapid breakthrough, the world's largest planemaker may appoint an interim CFO after Asam steps down at the end of the month as previously announced, having presented his last Airbus results on Feb 16, they said. Airbus declined to comment on management appointments. Asam announced his surprise decision to leave the aerospace group last August, when he pledged to "work with the management to ensure a smooth transition with the next Airbus CFO". However, Airbus has so far not publicly identified a new CFO, prompting some analysts to express concern over the lack of certainty regarding the transition. Although Airbus moved on from years of in-fighting and open national rivalries for its top jobs, the passport of the new finance chief will overshadow the search, the sources said.

Barring a rapid breakthrough, the world's largest planemaker may appoint an interim CFO after Asam steps down at the end of the month as previously announced, after presenting his last Airbus results on Feb. 16, they said. Asam announced his surprise decision to leave the aerospace group last August, when he pledged to "work with the management to ensure a smooth transition with the next Airbus CFO". However, Airbus has so far not publicly identified a new CFO, prompting some analysts to express concern over the lack of certainty. Although Airbus has moved on from years of in-fighting and open national rivalries for its top jobs, the passport of the new finance chief is unlikely to be ignored, the sources said. Asam joined Airbus in 2019 after having worked at German chip maker Infineon as finance chief since 2011.
