abstract: 'The Spanish pension system shows important gender differences both in
|
|
|
|
the gap in non-coverage rate and in the gap of pension incomes. About 60
|
|
|
|
percent of women aged 65 years or over do not have a contributory
|
|
|
|
retirement pension. Widowhood pensions play an important role to extend
|
|
|
|
the coverage of contributory pensions and reduces the poverty of women.
|
|
|
|
These gaps are the consequences of gender differences in employment such
|
|
|
|
as salaries, working hours and duration of working life. Also, there is
|
|
|
|
a strong cultural component which implies the traditional role of women
|
|
|
|
as the caretakers of their families. The Social Security system is
|
|
|
|
currently undergoing changes which mainly affect retirement pensions.
|
|
|
|
The main effect of the Spanish reforms on pensioners consists in
|
|
|
|
lowering pensions and adds to the women''s pensions some negative impacts
|
|
|
|
such as the penalization of short work careers and careers with low
|
|
|
|
intensity of time worked (part-time and others). Also, the
|
|
|
|
sustainability factor based on the life expectancy will affect in
|
|
|
|
greater proportion in women than in men. It should be considered
|
|
|
|
alternatives measures to reconcile finance sustainability and adequacy
|
|
|
|
of pension systems in the context of ageing populations. Policies for
|
|
|
|
reducing gender gaps in pay, working hours and career length are,
|
|
|
|
likewise, active means of narrowing the gender gap in pensions which
|
|
|
|
will contribute to lowering the risks of poverty in women.'
