Barrie,
Statistically, this is so. Which is why historically, women have got smaller
pensions and annuities than men of the same age. Under the new EU mandated
Gender Equality requirements, this means that men will, in future, get lower
pensions than is the case up to the end of this week. Women have also
statistically had fewer car accidents than men, and historically paid a lower
insurance premium. That too finishes this week, and will hit young women
drivers, in particular, very hard.
Which, when added to something called 'Solvency 2' which would have affected my
pension negatively by getting towards 20% if I had carried onworking and not
drawn pensions until next year, is why I am drawing pension now. Because that
means every day that I work has 40% tax to the government, I'm giving up work
next summer. My work, because I have no clients in Europe, merely imports cash
into UK plc and gives work to British Airways - and the government make me less
competitive by the wicked level of Air Passenger Duty! Well, it's their loss
when I retire.....
Happy New Year everyone.
