What is the gender health gap – and how to beat it

The gender health gap is an issue which affects far more than just wellbeing; it impacts your career, earnings and long-term financial stability.

In this episode of Women and Wealth, funds editor Val Cipriani and personal finance editor Holly McKechnie walk you through why women experience poorer health than men, how it is a systemic issue of under-investment in women’s healthcare and what this means for your finances.

The duo explore how the menopause and conditions such as endometriosis affect your earnings and pension pot. Holly and Val also explain how employers can improve support and offer practical steps women can take to protect their pockets from sudden or long-term illness.

Women and Wealth is the monthly podcast series from Investors’ Chronicle. You can listen to and watch the episodes alongside our other podcasts on Acast, Apple, Spotify or YouTube.
