<p>Impacts as a result of increases in State Pension age set in Pensions Act 2011
are presented in Pensions Act 2011 Impact Assessment, published in November 2011,
available at: <br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/181462/pensions-bill-2011-ia-annexa.pdf"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/181462/pensions-bill-2011-ia-annexa.pdf</a></p><p>This
included a gender impact assessment in annex A which found that while some aspects
of the Pensions Act 2011 provisions will impact women more strongly than men, the
impact is not disproportionate and is a consequence of closing the gender gap in State
Pension age earlier than under current plans. Women who work for longer have the opportunity
to improve their pension provision placing them in a better position to fund their
retirement.</p>
