Part-time work, caring commitments and the gender pay gap mean women are at a big disadvantage when it comes to pension income
Irish women face a significant pension gap (averaging 26% lower than men) due to factors like part-time work, caring responsibilities, and the gender pay gap. This gap can lead to financial difficulties in retirement, which women need to address proactively. Women are encouraged to examine their finances, prioritize long-term security, take advantage of employer pension contributions, and allocate increased disposable income to their pensions.
