2. Developing indicators on two new domains

2.1. Developing gender-specific indicatorsWomen

• in general spend less time in the formal labour market

• are more likely to work in atypical forms of employment (i.e. part-time, temporary work)

• more likely to engage in unpaid work (due to caring resposibilities)

• earn on average less over their life

• face occupational segregation

• in general retire earlier

Build up lower entitlements to pension benefits

Many women face a real threat of poverty and social exclusion in their post-retirement phase of life

At the same time…• change in traditional family and gender roles• change in individual and family life formation• increase in women´s participation in higher education• increase in women’s participation in the formal labour market • decline in fertility rates
