Recommendation
There is no consensus on how gender pension gap should be defined or any target to reduce it. Reports produced by stakeholders to inform the debate suggest the gap is significant and that little sustained progress is being made to reduce it. We recommend that the Department for Work and Pensions work with colleagues across government and other stakeholders to agree a definition of the gender pension gap and a target to reduce it.
Government Response Summary
DWP continues to work with stakeholders across government to develop an appropriate definition of the gender pensions gap and build an evidence base to inform future policy outcomes.
