In this episode, Rob and Emily are joined by guests from the Cabinet Office to discuss the Gender Pension Gap and why half the UK’s population may be facing an unbalanced future in retirement.

Cilla Christmas, Valuation and Strategic Review Manager and Co-Chair of the Civil Service Carer's Network, and Sarj Wheelwright, Stakeholder and Engagement Manager for Civil Service and Royal Mail Pensions talk us through the social, political and economic drivers of the Gender Pension Gap.

We explore the key facts, figures and research around this issue, and Cilla and Sarj talk about their own experiences. From workplaces that used to automatically place women on temporary contracts when they got married; balancing childcare responsibilities with their careers; to dividing assets when going through the divorce process.

We also hear some practical tips and advice that may help mitigate the impact of the Gender Pension Gap.
