Question 8587 — pensions: general

Summary

Ms. Céline Calvez questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men. Following collective complaints concerning pay inequality between women and men, made to the European Committee of Social Rights, the latter called upon the French Government in the context of its annual conclusions of 2016. Fifteen States, including France, do not respect the Charter European social security. In France, even today, women's salaries are significantly lower than those of men: we are talking about 12 to 27% salary inequality. This gap also manifests itself at the time of retirement. These inequalities are reinforced by the fact that women have careers that are often interrupted by the choice to raise their child(ren). Less remuneration and less contribution time lead to pensions which are lower: a difference of more than 30% is noted between those of women and those of men. Thus, a retired woman will have a much more precarious condition than a man! Given the aging of the population and this unfair situation for retired women, will the Government, as part of the pension reform, take specific measures to reduce this gap? She asks him what will be the involvement of its State Secretariat in pension reform, particularly alongside High Commissioner Jean-Paul Delevoye.
