Man v Woman – Who contributes more to pensions?
Over a third (37%) of women aged over-50 do not have a private pension, compared to a fifth (20%) of men.
Of the women that do have a pension, 16% in or nearing retirement have decreased the amount they have put into their long term savings, by an average of £196 per month, with 15% of men decreasing their savings, by an average of £391 a month.
Women have significantly changed their retirement expectations in the last year, as 35% expect to now retire later, compared to 25% of men.
