Webinar 5 Live: Fund Your Future – Women and Pensions
Wednesday, 15 November 2023 @10am
This webinar is suitable for anyone who has taken a break from employment and highlights some of the challenges that this brings to your pension planning.
Topics: For many women, work and family life can be a balancing act. Time out of work to care for a young children or a family member can be costly, if it keeps you from working and earning a salary, a proportion of which would normally be put aside for your pension. We’ll address some of the practical considerations that women need to think about when funding their future.
