|August 07, 2025
The state pensions gender gap has narrowed to £1.80 per week on average for those who have recently started to claim it, according to Department for Work and Pensions figures.
-
Statistics covering December 1 2023 to November 30 2024, reflecting "inflows to the new state pension", show that on average women are receiving 99.1% of the amount received by men.
The amounts for men and women are on course to be equal very shortly, the department said.
