Abstract

The article focuses on the significant burden of student loan debt on women in the U.S., who hold nearly two-thirds of the country's total student debt, amounting to $929 billion. It highlights the experiences of borrowers like Sahara Artiga, who struggles with her debt while balancing work and childcare, and discusses the broader implications of the gender wage gap and lack of generational wealth that exacerbate this issue. The article notes that Black women are particularly affected, facing higher average debt compared to their white male and female counterparts. As the Supreme Court prepares to rule on President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, many women are anxiously awaiting a decision that could impact their financial futures.
