Abstract (click on +)
Gender inequality received little mention in the preparatory works for the Pensions Reform Act of 21 August 2003, and then more indirectly than otherwise, such as in the issue of dependency benefits. And yet there are wide gender gaps that raise many questions, like the forms they take, their scale, the reasons for them, and especially, how they are likely to change.
