BackTo60 claim women face

They found the overall healthy life expectancy for women is projected to decrease, with women in the most deprived areas of the UK seeing decreases from 52.4 years in 2012 to 50.9 years in 2030.

This could, in the worst case scenario, mean some women may die before being able to access any kind of pension.

PPIs report expanded on this: “If these trends of a widening gap between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy continue, future generations of more disadvantaged people could find it increasingly difficult to work for longer before state pension age due to poor health.

“This could lead to difficulties providing for financial adequacy in retirement, especially for the most deprived with the lowest healthy life expectancies.”
