Are women really second class citizens when it comes to their retirement?


Helena Lindley


Since the passing of the Equal Pay Act 1970 (legislation which prohibited the unequal treatment of male and female employees in terms of both pay and conditions) significant gains have been made to create more equitable workplaces and recognise the value of diversity but disparity still exists.


A disproportionate number of women will start – and remain – in jobs with lower pay. Also, a greater proportion of women continue to take time out of their careers to bring up children or care for ageing parents, only to re-enter the workforce further down the career ladder than their male peers.


The result is that women end up losing out when it comes to their retirement income. Lower pay and disrupted working patterns mean they typically end up with smaller workplace pensions and some receive a reduced State Pension due to fewer years of National


Insurance Contributions. Societal change means high instances of relationship breakdowns are leaving more women fending for themselves or women are choosing to remain single.


There are a number of steps women can take to improve their financial outlook. A good way to start would be to consult a professional financial adviser. Engaging in the planning process at an early stage can make a huge difference to how your retirement pans out. So… make plans, review your savings and don’t bury your head in the sand.
