Having started the Gender Pension Parity conversation in Ireland in 2019, Irish Life has published a new Gender Pension Parity Report, which finds a 36% Gender Pension Gap. This means that women would need to continue working for 8 more years than men to build up the same size pension pot.

The report analyses the data of over 130,000 Irish life defined contribution plan members, examining the causes of Gender Pension Disparity and comparing behaviours between men and women in key areas. The report also proposes solutions for levelling the playing field and achieving Gender Pension Parity for the women of Ireland. Everyone has a part to play.
