ICYMI: As Rajiv Prabhakar (OpenU) points out, its not just the gender pay gap that is a problem, its the long-term impact of that gap on pension provision for women. As he points out, this means the cost(s) to individual women of unpaid care continue into later life.

For those who have retired already, there is little (other than benefits) that can be done, for women still in work, any reduction in the gap will have some positive impact on pensions!
