Women and super (Part 1): How to grow your super in the early and middle years

Welcome to the first article in our three-part series on women and super. This article focuses on issues and strategies for women in the first few decades of their long super journey.

When retirement is still decades away and your immediate financial priorities may be your home, family and enjoying life in the little spare time you have, super can easily end up as a problem for later. But where super is concerned, small changes starting now can make an enormous difference to your future wellbeing.

We know that women tend to retire with lower super balances than men and are expected to live longer on average, a combination that can lead to disappointing retirement income.

These tips can help women in their 20s through to their early 50s make the most of opportunities to close the gap.
