abstract: 'This study provides empirical evidence of the gender gap in retirement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
savings trajectories using a large longitudinal Australian database. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
persistent trend of retirement income policy over recent decades has
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
been to place responsibility for retirement savings accumulation with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the individual employee. These plans are fundamentally linked to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment conditions and individual choices, which shape retirement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
savings trajectories and outcomes. Australia has a mature compulsory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
system and thus provides insight for countries embarking on similar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
paths. This study shows that the gender gap in retirement savings is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
observable from early on in an individual''s paid working life and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
persists over time, providing evidence that women are disadvantaged
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
early in their careers, with few signs of improvement. Men, in contrast,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
are overrepresented in the upper quartile of growth in retirement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
savings. This study provides important empirical evidence for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
policymakers concerned with gender differences in retirement outcomes.'
