The gender pensions gap remains a big financial hurdle for many women, with caring responsibilities, career breaks and part-time jobs often leaving them with less as they head towards retirement than men.
Figures recently released by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) showed that between 2018 and 2020, a median average woman aged 55 to 59 had £94,000 on average built up in private pension wealth, while an equivalent man had £145,000.
