About this episode

The episode discusses the significant superannuation gap between men and women and explores strategies for women to improve their savings.

On average, women retire with 25% less superannuation than men, and one in ten have no super account at all. While you might assume this is purely down to career breaks, evidence shows the disparity starts much earlier - with females under 18 already trailing their male peers. What is really driving this, and what steps can women take to supercharge their savings? Gemma Dale, head of investor behaviour at NAB Trade joins associate editor James Kirby.
