This is a symbolic result for former employees.
The end of the year means good news for millions of retirees. Among those who received the transfer of 600 euros to make up for the non-material increase, then the increase in their basic pension, and all those affiliated to Agric-Arrco who will benefit from the increase in their matching, The coming weeks will be tough on the budget for the elderly.
However, one problem almost stopped this onslaught of announcements. A direct result of your professional career and salary level. What used to be women’s torture on a daily basis now gets a major symbolic change.
It’s a fact that comes up again and again every year. It develops, in measure, over the years, but is still important in everyday life. Between men and women, pay gaps persist and, although the trend towards equality (for equal positions) is gaining ground, it is still not successful.
According to the latest INSEE research on the issue, for similar working hours and positions in the private sector, female workers earn 4% less than their male counterparts. But overall, the gap in annual income is around 23.5%. The difference is specifically linked to part-time work, which is more common among women, which certainly affects pensions.
As the latter is calculated on the salaries received during one’s career, the differences continue and are even more important because those who are retired today work at a time when the inequality of pay is more important. Data from the Ministry of Cooperation testify to this.
According to the latest consolidated data, dating from 2021, on average, retirees receive 1,425 euros each month (direct and derived pension), compared to 1,976 euros for retirement, or 28% less. A numerical difference that is difficult to understand. In fact, this is to say that if women have pensions as high, on average, as men, they will not receive a single euro from the pension insurance from this Thursday, September 19 and until the end of the year.
