the super gender gap and ways to boost your super

The stats demonstrate that generally speaking there is a gender pay and super gap between men and women (see the stats from Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA): https://www.wgea.gov.au/). Pascale Helyar-Moray is the founder of Super-Rewards, on the board of the Australian Gender Equality Council (https://www.agec.org.au/) and is a wealth of knowledge on this gender gap. Glen had a chat with her to dig into some things people can do if their super is taking a hit due to this gap, taking time out of work for family or to be a carer. The chat touches on:

👉🏻what the stats are and the research out there around the issue
