Women have, on average, 20% less superannuation than men. The main reasons for this include the gender pay gap and the fact women take more time out of paid work for caring responsibilities. It’s important to ensure you’re in a low-fee fund, and to make extra contributions if you can. The average super balance for women over 15 is $150,922, while for men it’s $189,892, according to ASFA data. That’s a superannuation gap of 20.5%.
