Career break still hurting women's SuperDespite incentives and policy measures aimed at closing the gender gap, the impact of the career break on women's super is still as detrimental as it was ten years ago, a recent report has shown. The report for the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees showed a 'flat-lining' of women's balances in 2010 between 38-42 and 43-47, as in a decade ago. Commenting on the findings, AIST CEO Fiona Reynolds said it was concerning that policies and incentives to save through super had not helped to address the gender gap issue. "The super gender gap is still as large today as it was in 2002 because women are still spending five to six years out of paid work to raise children and they still earn, on average, nearly 20% less than men," said Ms Reynolds. The survey reinforces the importance of making voluntary super contributions, according to Phillipsons Financial Adviser, Katrina Van Gunst. |
