Download or read book Women s Pension Rights and Survivors Benefits A Comparative Analysis of EU Member States and Candidate Countries written by Chiara Monticone and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2008 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents and compares old-age income provision rules with respect to the issue of equality between women and men in the current and future EU member states. The report focuses on 25 member states and, to the extent possible, on the recently acceded and candidate countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Croatia). The report considers various aspects of the benefits, ranging from entitlement rules to minimum pensions, through to childcare credits and assistance for survivors. Overall, European countries adopt similar measures for ensuring adequate old-age income for women. The elimination of differentiated entitlement rules for standard and early retirement plays a key role in the reduction of the differences between men and women. In particular, this process means a faster increase in the minimum retirement age for women and different methods of encompassing childcare periods in the pension benefit formulas. In the long run, the higher employment rates of women and reduced wage disparities between men and women should lead to better individual pension rights for women, especially in defined contribution schemes, which have recently been introduced in some countries.

Download or read book Women s Welfare Women s Rights written by Jane Lewis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of ways of approaching the study of social policy, the most common is perhaps the division by ‘service’. A different approach is by ‘group’. Another is first to isolate a concept – for example, social justice or equality – and then to relate it both to policies in a particular area and to particular groups. Originally published in 1983, Women's Welfare, Women's Rights opted explicitly for an amalgam of these strategies. The primary focus of this title is women as a group and most of the contributors, who work from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives, take a particular policy area and try to see what is happening to women within it, concentrating chiefly on women’s experience in the family and in paid employment. At the time opportunities for reading about women and social policy were limited so this book was intended to be helpful in redressing the balance. Today it can be read in its historical context.
