Securing her future: Addressing the women’s pensions gap

Is it right that women need to start work from age 3… or work to age 84… to achieve the same pension as men?

For almost six years now:pensions has been campaigning about the Gender Pensions Gap – the different in pension saving between men and women.

Their first Gender Pension Gap report, published in 2019, showed that women reach retirement age (65) with a savings gap of £101,000, compared to men. Fast forward to 2025 and that gap is higher at £136,000.

To put it another way – to end up with the same pension as a man, a woman would have to work either:

• An additional 19 years to age 84, or
• Start working from age 3

In this session, we’ll take a closer look at the reasons and causes of the huge gap and consider what changes could help women to save more for their pension throughout their working lives.

Understanding the women’s pension gap is crucial for ensuring a secure financial future for half the population and has significant implications for every organisation. Join our exclusive one-hour webinar, designed for all board directors, as we unpack the current state of this disparity and explore its multifaceted causes.

Hosted by IoD Glass Ceiling Chair Vanessa dal Busco, join Gender Pensions Gap expert Samantha Gould and policy expert Lizzy Holliday in exploring the latest research from now:pensions and the independent Pension Policy Institute (PPI) to hear more about what the figures are telling us and how we can start moving towards solution, in line with expected policy changes from the Government.
