Population ageing has fuelled interest in pensions and
intergenerational equity, leading to privatization of pensions. Yet
the gender implications of such policies and the connections
between the gender contract and the generational contract remain
unexplored. Women, Work and Pensions examines how women's paid and
unpaid work, interacting with the gendered pension systems of six
liberal welfare states - Britain, the US, Canada, Ireland,
Australia and New Zealand - contributes to female poverty in later
life. By comparing how these welfare states deal with women's
employment, family roles and pension entitlement, the nature of the
residual welfare model is better understood. Changes over the past
three decades in the gender contract and in women's employment
suggest that family caring may have less impact on women's pensions
in the future. Yet pension reforms which diminish the effectiveness
of women-friendly features in state pensions through cuts and
privatization point in the opposite direction. This issue, and how
the pension penalties of caring vary with women's class, ethnicity
and birth cohort, are major themes of the book.
