abstract: 'Gender inequalities in the financial resources in later life result from
the combined effect of women''s atypical life courses, which include
interrupted employment records and periods of care provision, and the
fact that pension systems have generally been slow in mitigating
`diversions'' from continuous and full-time working lives. Gender
differentials in financial resources can often result in a greater
likelihood of facing poverty for older women compared to older men, and
such risk can be experienced for longer periods for women, as a result
of their higher life expectancy on average. For example, across the
EU-27, 16\% of men compared to 23\% of women aged 65 and over faced a
poverty risk, and at age 65, men can expect to live another 17 years on
average, while women another 21 years. Although modern pension systems
are increasingly recognising the diversity of women''s patterns of paid
and unpaid work, for example by accounting for periods of childcare in
the calculation of the state pension, research continues to show a
`penalty'' for women who have spent significant periods of their life
providing care to children or dependent adults in and outside the
household. Reducing such penalty is particularly important as population
ageing and an increasing demand for formal and informal care are likely
to present challenges with critical policy implications for societies
and individuals alike. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights
