Гендерно обусловленные различия в факторах риска бедности пожилых граждан ЕС / The determinants of the gender specific poverty risk among senior generations in EU
Аннотация
The global commitment to poverty eradication persists, especially with the aging population increasing, introducing the need to understand and address old-age poverty.
While recognizing gender disparities in poverty globally, there is a lack of detailed studies on gender-specific factors contributing to poverty, signaling a research gap.
The research aims to identify gender-specific poverty risks among senior populations in the European Union.
The study posits that the causes and experience of poverty are not gender neutral, advocating for a gender-sensitive approach for analysis. It emphasizes the multidimensional nature of poverty and the necessity for tailored interventions, particularly for older women. As the EU population ages rapidly, public pension systems face challenges to strike a balance between supporting vulnerable groups and avoiding an overwhelming tax burden.
The evolving labor market, driven by digitalization and increased life expectancy, along with migrant inflows, introduces complexities impacting budget allocation and job competition. From a gender perspective, women's reliance on public pensions and social expenditures due to unpaid labor and caregiving responsibilities underscores the need for policy interventions that recognize and address their vulnerabilities.
The research seeks to address the critical gap in understanding gender-specific factors influencing poverty in the EU's senior population. The multidimensional approach and gender-sensitive analysis aim to inform targeted interventions and policies to mitigate the unique challenges faced by older individuals, particularly women, in the realm of poverty and social inclusion.
