"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Scottish Widows estimates women are set to retire with a median private pension wealth of 173,000. This figure stands 113,000 lower than the average of 286,000 projected for men. This widening disparity marks an increase from the 100,000 gender gap in private pensions calculated at retirement just twelve months ago. Scottish Widows estimated people's retirement incomes based on their current wealth, their savings behaviour and some assumptions about factors such as how their income is expected to grow through their working life,"
The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalists and keeps reporting free by avoiding paywalls, relying on support from readers who can afford to contribute. Scottish Widows estimates women will retire with a median private pension wealth of £173,000, compared with an average of £286,000 for men, creating a £113,000 gap. That gap has widened from £100,000 over the past year. The calculations use current wealth, savings behaviour and assumptions about income growth through working life. The research finds 58% of women at or near retirement have taken a career break versus 12% of men; 40% did not plan financially for the break and 56% never considered its retirement impact.
