Pensions bill offers nothing for women, says EOC
Article Abstract:
The Pension Bill promises to simplify the rules around pensions administration, by making it easier for employers to provide pensions by cutting through red tapes. However, this bill has drawn criticism from the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), who declared that it has nothing for the woman, despite the government's acknowledgment that women mainly rely on the state pension scheme.
