Even though the difference between men's and women's average state pension income is now 'essentially zero' among those born in the early 1950s, today, working age men are putting more money than women into private sector pensions in the years after children are born.
Six years after the birth of a first child, average contributions made by fathers are more than twice the average contributions made by mothers.
It's an improvement from women born a decade earlier who have pension incomes roughly 25% lower than women, according to the research.
