igloo is recalling some of its coolers after a boy got trapped inside while playing hide-and-seek. last week we showed you this surveillance video from the family's florida home, showing the child crawling into a 72 quart cooler. the 5-year-old managed to close the latch, locking himself inside. seconds later, the family runs outside and rescues him, thank goodness. igloo says the latch malfunctioned. the company issued a recall on four of its elite coolers. you'll find a link on our website, abc7news.com. california law requires men and women to receive equal pay for equal work, but lawmakers say that's not always happening. the california commission on the status of women and girls held a hearing on the equal pay law. women on average are paid 83 cents on the dollar for the same work as men. an equal pay task force is developing online tools that will help employers and

employees understand their rights and responsibilities under california's equal pay law. >> the lower the income level, the harder it is to advocate for yourself because there is the issue of being terminated because you're asking for something that the law already says you should be able to get. >> the state is scheduled to launch the website next month. well, it is women's history month, and we already know women have made strides in the workplace with higher positions and pay. >> yes. but how are they really doing financially? 7 on your side's michael fin any here with a closer look. michael? >> i'm here today with carrie schwab pomeranz from charles schwab foundation. carrie, thanks for joining me. 83 cents on the dollar. you're starting out 17% down, right? >> i knopf. women have unique financial challenges. like you said, 83 cents on the dollar versus a man. we tend to go in and out of the workforce to care for children or elderly parents. and we tend to live longer. so given all that, we need more

savings for more years of retirement, yet we have less money to do it with. >> let's talk about the longer life. i hardly ever see that even addressed, and yet if you're planning to get to 80, that's a lot different financial planning than planning to get to 90 in retirement. >> social security, for instance, you can have it as early as 62 years old, which unfortunately so many people in this country do that, but then they permanently reduce the benefit by 25%. however, if you wait until you're 70 years old, your benefit can increase up to 76%. so if you're a healthy person, you have longevity in your family, you really might want to consider waiting until you're 70 years old to take your first social security check. >> are girls as engaged as boys. since we were just hearing that they're talking about wages of young girls too. we saw where parents underpay their girls at home like about two months ago. >> right. >> are girls as engaged as boys? >> girls are very engaged in

their financial independence. they're more likely to have a second job in their teenaged years. they're more likely to spend less and try to save more. but guess what? if you compare the amount of savings that a young man has versus a young girl, they have about 50% more in savings. and why does that happen? who knows, right? >> why do they end if they've been better with their money. >> but also, 50% young women versus young men havnvestment accounts. in other words, they're not investing at the same rates as young men are which is really important in terms of trying to create financial security for yourself. >> that is a gender stereotype in the financial world that women save and men invest. that true? >> well, with the 401(k), more and more women are investing and having to invest. but if you look at a lot of studies, we do tend in general to lack confidence, and we're less likely to have investment accounts. that has to do with probably how

we've been socialized. yet it's so important for all of us to be investors. we've got to get rid of any of the stereotypes and get engaged and disciplined about our finances. >> does it start with our daughters? this has to be my last question, because we're running out of time. does it start with our daughters? are we talking wrong or not correctly with our daughters about money? >> well, studies show and our studies have shown this too that we tend to talk to our daughters differently than our sons. with our daughters we talk about savings and household finances. with our sons we talk about borrowing, investing. and those are really key components to building wealth over time. so we've got to talk to our daughters just the same as we do with our sons. >> all right. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >> back to you guys. >> great discussion. thank you, both. what do you do during your final few days at work when you're bored and you need some time to kill. one person decided to make some music using office supplies. >> we're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed. please check your number and
