In de EU zijn de pensioenen van vrouwen gemiddeld lager dan die van mannen. Deze pensioenkloof (‘Gender Pension Gap’, GPG) heeft verschillende oorzaken, waaronder het feit dat vrouwen vaker dan mannen geen betaalde baan hebben, dat vrouwen in de betaalde banen die ze hebben gemiddeld minder uren werken, en dat vrouwen vaak lagere lonen ontvangen. De relatie tussen verschillen in inkomen en arbeidsmarktdeelnamepercentages enerzijds en de GPG ...
