Financial Standard Comments - Australians undecided about higher super for women It appears Australians are undecided whether women should be paid a higher rate of superannuation to address the current retirement savings gender gap. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=55048169 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:30:30 +1100 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:30:30 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Kevin Williamson (Retired) A quick fix for this so-called "gender gap" - we should aim for all people to have say 15 years in retirement, based on average life expectancy (which for males is approximately 82 and females 84). This means that the male "retirement age" should be 67 and for females, age 69. Those extra years of SG contributions for females will compensate for the time off they may have had earlier in their careers, while supported by their partners and any maternity leave entitlements.
