Women will need to work 19 extra years to retire with same pensions as men, report says
Women face needing to work for an extra 19 years to retire with the same pension savings as men typically, according to a report.
Women retire on average with pension savings of £69,000, compared with £205,000 for men, the research by pensions provider NOW: Pensions and the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) found.
Career gaps, caring responsibilities, childcare costs and lower earnings contribute to women often having less money saved for.
