Ireland. Failure to save for pensions ‘particularly concerning’ for women
More than 60% of women do not have a private pension, a new study has found.
According to a survey carried out by Behaviour and Attitudes for Aviva men are more proactive and confident about their retirement income than women.
Almost half of the men polled said they had a pension, compared with 37% of women.
One in four women surveyed said a pension was something they were unlikely to ever do.
Aviva said the results show a pension pay gap of 10%, which could point to a future of financial dis-empowerment amongst future female retirees.
More than 1,000 people were interviewed nationwide for the study.
Of those without a pension, a third said they had not thought about what income they will survive on when they retire.
