Abstract

This Briefing Note follows on from Briefing Note 84. It provides an overview of the different work and family lifecourses for men and women and aims to understand how gender variations in the lifecourse affect income in retirement.

The modelling finds that there is a far greater variation of projected pension outcomes for women as a result of more varied lifecourses. Men can expect a higher pension than women who follow a similar lifecourse of working full-time throughout, as a result of the gender pay gap.
