The research, undertaken by the economics think tank Women's Budget Group (WBG) UK, carried out modelling to establish how much savings women aged between 50 and 59, are projected to have once they reach retirement.
The WBG noted, while auto-enrolment (AE) has expanded pension savings, its design still carries "gendered labour market inequality" and many women in their 50s have not saved enough for their retirement since AE was introduced in 2012.
