Despite recent efforts to equalize the treatment of men and women in the pension system design in many countries, the gender gap in pensions persists. This gap contributes to old-age income inequality in Europe and beyond.
The interplay of pension and family policies has a major impact on mitigating the gender gap in pensions. This one-day conference, organized by the Finnish Centre for Pensions, will gather timely analyses on gender differences in employment and pensions.
