The activities of WP3 aim at assessing the needs of women and identify the challenges they face during their career, which may have negative consequences in their retirement. Moreover, WP3’s activities aim at recording good practices on addressing the gender pension and pay gap implemented in EU members states, promoting the implementation of similar practices to Greece and establishing a national network to address the gender pension gap.

Objectives:

Detecting and exploring choices and careers patterns over women’s life cycle, related to the gender pay and pension gap through primary qualitative research.

Mapping and exchange of good practices on issues related to gender gap in pensions that may be transferable to the specific needs of Greece.

Establishment of a mutual learning framework among stakeholders aiming at the development of proposals for the reduction of the pension gap between men and women, taking into account both the specific needs of women and the results of stakeholders’ consultation.
