While much is known about the situation in the labour market in the
form of gender pay and earnings gaps, rather little is understood
about their sequel in old age the gender pension gap. Entering the
world of pensions may well signal a step backwards as far as
women's independence is concerned, particularly in countries where
women have earned economic independence in employment and are now
being confronted by institutional frameworks presuming, encouraging
or even imposing dependence. Unequal Ageing in Europe explores the
gender pension gap across the member states of the European Union,
plus Iceland and Norway. Employing microdata from the Survey of
Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), along with data from the
Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the
authors derive key facts regarding pension inequality between women
and men. An intuitive indicator for a pension gender gap is derived
and contrasted with equivalent indicators for pay and earnings
gaps. The authors explore European diversity in a number of
dimensions and benchmark their findings against equivalent findings
in the US.
