I CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN ON SHOCKING INEQUALITY OF GENDER PENSION GAP

The roots of the gender pension gap lies in the gender pay gap which impacts women in lower paid jobs.

Without even a definition of the gender pensions gap, the UK Government’s warm words about working to address this ring hollow as the entire pension system discriminates against women in a number of ways.

Meanwhile, women are much more likely to live in poverty in later life than men.

I again urged the UK Government to tackle this shocking gender inequality.

The difference in pension income between men and women stands at a shameful 40.3 per cent, and yet the UK Government does not even have a suitable definition for the gender pension gap, let alone effective measures to reduce it.
