Research shows how career breaks, part-time working and time in lower-paid roles affect incomes
Female teachers are typically retiring on much smaller pensions than their male counterparts, research has found, with part-time working one of the biggest factors eroding women’s retirement incomes.
Analysis of payouts from the teachers’ pension scheme (TPS) suggests that the average pension for a female former teacher is 28% less a year than a man in the same position.
