Working single mothers have missed out on more than £852 million in pension savings since the introduction of auto-enrolment in 2012. This has led to women facing an additional 19 years of work to bridge the £136,000 gender pension gap shortfall.

- Financial Impact: The gap highlights a significant imbalance in pension contributions and retirement planning for women.
- Long-term Consequences: Women are disadvantaged in building retirement security, impacting their financial stability in later years.
