PWN Dublin Partner Event: Closing the Gender Pension Gap in Ireland

As part of Pensions Awareness Week, PWN Dublin is inviting you to attend this session on cultivating financial wellness for women, hosted by Moneycube.

There are many reasons that have led to a gender pension gap in Ireland with lower pension income for women in retirement. Women are less likely to receive supplementary pensions due to lower income work and part-time work or extended periods out of the workforce in care giving positions. Many women lose important pension contributions when on maternity, parental or other carer leave as much of this is unpaid breaks, therefore, there are no salary contributions to their pension.

It’s time that we have a frank and honest conversation on how women:

• are to be compensated for the disproportionate time spent in periods of care giving providing pension equality
• can access pensions without being excluded on the basis of income thresholds or minimum hourly requirements
• have better simplicity in their pension scheme to ensure transparency so they may plan work, retirement and savings arrangements
