I work with a lot of women in their 50s, several of whom have expressed their shock/disgust at how little occupational pension they'll be receiving when they retire, even proportionally compared to FT workers. They have all had DC then remained PT even after the DC became teenagers and eventually left for uni. I didn't want to say anything to them when they were complaining to me how hard done by they are, but surely it's basic maths to know that the more you invest (and the earlier) the more it grows and therefore the greater the pension? How can they now claim to be so surprised and hard done by?

To think that a lot of people don't seem to understand that part-time work = much smaller pension?
