In 1958, the average UK pension for women was significantly lower than that for men, reflecting the gender pay gap and societal norms of the time. Women typically received a state pension that was around 50% of what men received, with many relying on lower earnings throughout their working lives. The average pension amount for women was approximately £5 per week, which highlights the economic challenges faced by women in the post-war era.
Currently, state pensions are paid to men over 65 years of age and to women over 60 years of age. The age for women to receive a pension is increasing between 2010 and 2020 by which time they will receive the state pension after 65 years. There are plans to increase the age for both men and women with the age planned to rise to 68 years by 2046.

The UK Pension is divided into seven major categories. The following categories represent the seven: Basic State, Occupational Pensions, State Second Pensions, Stakeholder Pensions, Personal or Individual Pensions, and Group Personal Pensions. In the UK, the state provides a basic pension that is designed to prevent poverty during old age. Men must be over the age of 65 and women must be over the age of 60 to get this UK pension. The goal is to equalize the pension age, and the government plans to have the age equal by the year 2020. The Old Age Pension was first introduced in 1909. The initial payment was 5 shillings per week. The Old Age Pensions Act 1908 stated that the qualifying age for this UK pension was 70. There is an extra state pension available to those paying National Insurance, and other qualifying groups in the UK. Furthermore, participation in the Additional Pension Scheme is voluntary; this differs from the Basic Pension that is mandatory for all that work in the UK. Those that do not wish to participate can opt out of this program. The Occupational Pension Schemes in the UK are provided specifically to employees by their employers. Traditionally, this pension plan was popular; however, the number of employers that participate in this UK pension scheme has decreased. Employers have closed most of their Occupational Pension Schemes to new employees. As a result, they offer a plan called money purchase or defined contribution arrangements. The Occupational Pension pays into a specified fund, and the fund is then used to purchase the UK pension. The pension amount is determined by the value of the fund at the time of retirement. In addition, the health of the annuity also makes a difference in the pension amount received. The Occupational Pension Schemes are traditionally jointly funded by both the employer and the employee. The employee can contribute up to 6% of their salary tax free. In the UK a non contributory pension scheme is when the employer funds the pension without any contribution from the employee. These contributions by the employer are put into a separate trust account to fund retirement when needed. Most UK pension plans grow tax free. The beneficiary does not have to worry about taxes.
The basic state pension is currently £102.15 per week.
The age at which men can receive their state pension varies by country. In the UK, for example, the state pension age is currently 66 for both men and women, but this is set to increase in the future. It is best to check with your country's government website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on state pension age.
If your UK State Pension is your only income, then it isn't taxable. However, if you have other income from whatever source, your pension will be added to that income and you will be taxed in the normal way if you are classed as a UK resident for tax purposes.
The average age of marriage in the UK is around 32 years old for men and 30 years old for women.
