Pension gap for supplementary pension according to age

Description

Not all people who have recently taken their retirement pension have accrued a supplementary pension during their career. The graph below shows the participation in the supplementary pension for men and women who have recently taken their retirement pension according to their age at the time of retirement. Women who have recently retired therefore receive a supplementary pension less often than men who have recently retired at all ages. But what about the differences between men and women (in terms of coverage) according to their age for recently retired persons who have a supplementary pension? The graph above shows the average amounts by default. If we select the median amounts using the filter, we immediately notice that for all ages, the median pension gap is much higher than the average pension gap. The pension gap at the statutory retirement age (65) has widened significantly in recent years, from 53% in 2019 to 60% in 2022, for the population of first-time pensioners. To better understand who is receiving a supplementary pension or not and the possible reasons for the pension gap, we divide recent pensioners according to their scheme (employee, self-employed, civil servant), age and marital status. For people with only an employee career, we also look at the situation according to certain career characteristics.
