Many reports have found that women are often significantly disadvantaged when it comes to super and that they retire with approximately half the super balance of men.
Women often experience broken work patterns due to parenthood, caring responsibilities or study.
This affects their income levels and career options, which are directly linked to the amount of super they accumulate over their working life.
Women account for the majority of casual and part-time workers - many of whom don't qualify for employer-contributed super in the private sector.
