The Turnbull government will attempt to boost its female votes with measures to encourage women back into the workforce.

Tuesday night's budget is due to include a multi-million dollar re-skilling package, as well as tax incentives for women to start their own businesses, News Corp reports.

The coalition will also announce changes to superannuation, in a bid to help women build their nest eggs while taking time off to raise children.
