Abstract: | In the first section of this article, the authors Christel Gilles and Antoine Parent, argue that in France, public policy
and the pension system provide financial incentives favoring early retirement. The implementation of “bridge jobs” to facilitate
the transition from full employment to full retirement, could, in theory, lessen the long-term decline in employment rates
of men and women. Gilles and Parent, in the second section, question the idea that rising labor force participation rates
among women are adequate to narrow pension inequalities between men and women. Regarding this point, we also note that since
women's careers are generally shorter than men's and their labor income remains, on average, lower, an increase, in female
labor force participation would lead, in an occupational-based system, to a substitution effect between direct and indirect
entitlements. The impact of this effect on pension gender inequalities remains uncertain. In the third section, the authors
examine, from a gender perspective, other pension reform options that may, in theory, provide greater gender equality, but
that are, in practice, far from the implementation phase. |
