A Universal Pension for Ireland (Workshop 10) Insurance Ireland
October 7, 2020 @ 12:00 am
Why Ireland should use Auto-Enrolment to tackle the gender pensions gap – voices from Australia, New Zealand and Sweden
Date: Wednesday, 7 October 2020
Time: 9:00 – 10:30 am
Place: Virtual
The pensions landscape in Ireland is on the cusp of large-scale reform aimed at increasing both the number of people saving for a pension, and also how much money they save in their pensions. Based on international experience, Insurance Ireland believes that it is vital for a whole of society response to increase our levels of pension saving.
As part of our ongoing series of round table discussions with those who have a professional or public policy role in building, supporting and guiding our pensions landscape, we would like to invite you to the 10th workshop of this series.
Following on from our workshops last year when we explored strategies that could achieve the policy target of 70:30 (70% of those in employment in Ireland saving for a pension by 2030), This event we will be exploring why and how Ireland could use Auto Enrolment to tackle the gender pensions gap. As we have done on previous occasions, we will hear from four international speakers. Claire Dale and Susan St. John will present their view on how gender equality could be achieved and will discuss the experience of New Zealand. Sandra Buckley is CEO of Women in Super an Australian organisation, who advocate on issues to make Australian retirement policy gender equitable. Eva Erlandsson has a long career within Insurance Sweden. She is today Senior Advisor after several years as Chief Economist.
