Our recent Gender Pension Parity Research found that women in Ireland would need to work for 8 more years than men to build up the same size pension pot because of a 36% Gender Pension Gap.

A key message in the report was the need for women to be offered gender specific awareness and education supports. At Irish Life, we are delighted to let you know about a fantastic new campaign we have coming up, where we offer your female members a series of communications and female focused supports, designed to build awareness of the gap, boost financial literacy and confidence in the pensions space and encourage pro-activity.

On November 21, we will host a live Women & Pensions: Fast Track to Financial Empowerment webinar, covering key topics such as how maternity leave or working part-time can affect a member's pension savings. We'll also be sharing 5 incredibly useful Top Tips for Women to become economically empowered so they can make the most out of their hard-earned pension savings.

We will send the first communication in the series soon, alongside a host of other resources, from video to blog content, as we continue to help women understand what they can do to navigate this issue.
