PensionBee research tells us that women face real obstacles when it comes to creating a comfortable retirement. In fact, the average disparity between men and women's pensions is 38% and has grown to almost 60% in some parts of the UK.

So, how did we get here? What's standing in the way of women saving enough for their retirement? And what can we do about this problem? Joining us to answer these questions are:

• Personal Finance Editor at The Telegraph; Sam Brodbeck
• Founder of Vestpod; Emilie Bellet
• PensionBee's CEO; Romi Savova
