The gender pension gap in Europe/ Women earn 12% less than men

The gender pay gap is a well-observed phenomenon across Europe.

In the EU, women earned 12% less than men in 2023, according to Eurostat, meaning that women earned only 88 euros for every 100 euros earned by men.

The gap is even wider when it comes to pensions. In 27 European countries, including non-EU countries, women receive significantly lower pensions than men. On average, women's pension income is 22% lower than men's. In some major economies, the gap exceeds 35% - according to the OECD.

In 2024, the gender pension gap ranged from around 6% in Estonia to 37% in the UK. The OECD average is 23%, and the European average for the 27 countries on the list is 22%. This means that, on average across Europe, women receive just €78 in pension income, while men receive €100.

The gender gap in pensions is over 30% in some countries. In addition to the UK, these included the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland and Ireland.
