Workplace pension

3 million women are missing out on workplace pensions as they don’t meet the criteria for auto enrolment into a workplace pension.

Family carer top-up

Introducing a ‘family carer’ top-up would help about 3 million women and 300,000 men top up their pension savings after taking time out to care for children and elderly relatives.

Multiple part time jobs

Including income from additional jobs would push an additional 80,000 people over the £10,000 threshold for auto enrolment – 60,000 of whom would be women.
