Download or read book Gender pensions and the lifecourse written by Ginn, Jay and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2003-06-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An emerging consensus sees British pension policy as unravelling. Yet the gender impact of expanding private pension provision and relying increasingly on means-testing has been largely overlooked. This book examines key issues such as: how pension choices over the lifecourse are structured by gender, class and ethnicity; the impact of changing patterns of partnership and parenthood on pension building; the distributional impact of privatising pensions; questions about individualisation of rights, survivor benefits, a citizen's pension and means-testing; the EU dimension - comparing alternative strategies for improving gender equity. The book is essential reading for teachers, researchers and students in social gerontology, sociology, social policy and women's studies; practitioners in social work and welfare rights; policy makers concerned with income in later life; and all those who wish to improve their understanding of pensions issues.

Download or read book Gender and Social Security Reform written by Neil Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging populations are creating tremendous pressures on social security systems throughout the world, lifting the need for reform to the top of policy agendas. Proposed reforms often have different implications for men and women. At the same time, traditional family and gender roles are changing with the decline in fertility rates and the rapid rise in women's participation in the paid labor force.While trying to adapt social security systems to the fiscal demands of aging societies, policymakers face the compelling challenge of how to design pension reforms that achieve fair outcomes for women. Gender and Social Security Reform examines how different countries are attempting to meet this challenge. Drawing on comparative studies of European and Latin American countries along with a series of case studies of individual countries, the book provides insights into the gender dimensions of alternative designs for reform. All of the countries studied have recently reformed or are about to reform their pension systems, with a clear trend towards tightening the link between contributions and benefits in order to secure the long-term sustainability of pensions. The book also alerts policymakers to other issues: Should pension systems be gender-neutral or compensate for inequalities in paid and unpaid labor? Does compensation preserve gender discrimination? Are unisex life tables a reliable or fair redistributive tool for women? Or should annuities be linked directly to life expectancy, differentiated by sex and potentially other factors? Does a minimum pension guarantee risk compromising the principle of individual responsibility and work? How can recognition for caring work be balanced with work incentives? What can be done to help social security systems preserve freedom of choice in terms of work-family balance for women, men or the modem family unit as a whole?In analyzing the gender implications of recent social security policies and practices

Download or read book The Pension Book written by Karen Ferguson and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 1996-05 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every pension plan has its fine print. Using case studies from the Pension Rights Center, Ferguson and Blackwell show what everyone in a private plan needs to know: how and when their pension will vest; how much their benefit will be; and whether it is adjusted for inflation. Is the plan overfunded or underfunded? Will it survive should the company change hands or go bankrupt? And what happens in the event of death or divorce? Each chapter tackling these subjects is followed by a "What to Do" section in which the authors demonstrate, point by point, how we can take charge of our retirement future. No retirement plan? You're not alone. Half of all Americans have no plan other than social security, and this venerable system - never intended to cover all retirement needs - typically pays people 40 percent of what they were earning when they worked. Or maybe you're in a do-it-yourself savings plan. Increasingly, employers are substituting these plans for traditional pensions. Again, Ferguson and Blackwell provide practical suggestions and reliable advice about the pros and cons of IRAs, 401(k)s, and the other tax-sheltered savings arrangements.

Book excerpt: An important concern for pension policy is the unequal distribution of retirement benefits. Differences in employer-sponsored pension wealth are especially pronounced between men and women. This report examines gender differences in pension benefits among the elderly and differences in coverage rates and pension wealth among full-time workers. Although the proportion of elderly women receiving employer-sponsored pension income doubled from 1976 to 1996, elderly women were only about half as likely as elderly men to receive pension income in 1996, and median pension income among recipients was much higher for men than for women. The gender gap in pension wealth among those currently approaching retirement is also large. Based on data from the 1992 pension provider supplement to the Health and Retirement Study, the study found that median pension wealth was $120,000 for men and $68,000 for women, among full-time wage and salary workers between the ages of 51 and 61. However, most of the gender gap in pension wealth could be explained by differences in personal and job characteristics between men and women, especially by differences in wages and job tenure. Differential labor market returns to human capital and other variables accounted for only a small portion of the gender gap in pension wealth. These findings suggest that private pension income will improve substantially for women who begin to retire over the next few decades, reflecting increases over the past 25 years in women's labor force participation rates, years of work experience, and earnings. However, eliminating the gender gap in pension wealth is unlikely to reduce the high rates of poverty among elderly widows.
