FAIRER WOMEN'S PENSIONS

Men (me included) do not always realise that most women are "socially excluded" and penalised by pension systems because they have been busy bringing up our children.   Women make up the majority of pensioners, particularly amongst the most elderly. They also make up the majority of the poorest pensioners.

Seniors Network is appalled at the way in which women are treated re pensions - so join the better Pensions For Women campaign and do something about it!!
