flag UK women have far less pension wealth than men by 60 due to systemic career and pay disparities.

flag Women in the UK have significantly less pension wealth than men by age 60, with men holding an average of £75,000 compared to women’s £19,000 in defined contribution pensions, according to a University of Edinburgh report. flag The gap is driven by systemic factors like lower lifetime earnings, career interruptions for caregiving, part-time work, and unequal shares of unpaid domestic labor—not lack of financial confidence. flag The report criticizes a pensions system built on linear career models that fail women’s complex life paths, urging reforms to support equitable retirement outcomes.
