What was the average UK pension for women in 1958?

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.
