Pension gap for total pension by age

Description

The graph below illustrates the pension gap of the total pension of people who have recently taken their retirement pension by age. The situation of people between the ages of 61 and 66 is displayed by default. It is possible to display the other age categories (which do not appear by default) by selecting them in the ‘age’ filter. To better understand the reality behind these pension gaps, we also look at pension gaps based on the median total pension. This median total pension corresponds to the total amount of the pension of the most average pensioner; 50% are above this pension amount and 50% are below it. In the graph below, the average total pension is broken down to show the average statutory pension and the average supplementary pension. We do this for all age groups and, of course, for men and women separately. It is immediately clear that the supplementary pension is each time a small part of the total pension. The graph illustrating the evolution of the total pension gap by retirement age shows that the relative gap in the total pension has decreased by 3 percentage points since 2019 for pensioners aged 65, a decrease similar to that observed in the general population over the same period.
