With the gender pay gap slowly being addressed by industries across Australia, the ATO has revealed the biggest financial gap between men and women now sits in their super accounts. Australian men aged 55-59, had an average of $51,000 more than their female colleagues – that’s over three and a half years of contributions for workers on an average salary of $70,000. From the moment women step into the workforce, they’re at a disadvantage when it comes to their super accounts, and the difference in retirement savings between men and women increases over time.
