Pension systems with a gender focus
On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, the call for proposals “ Pension systems with a gender focus: progress and setbacks in Latin America and the Caribbean ” was publicly launched, jointly promoted by the Inter-American Conference on Social Security (CISS) and the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO).
This research initiative seeks to address the obstacles faced by many women in the region in accessing retirement benefits or pensions in their old age. Despite having performed the majority of domestic and care work throughout their lives, they often lack the necessary contributions or funds to access a pension that would allow them to maintain economic independence in their later years.
The following people participated in the event:
Vanessa Stoehr , Executive Director of Projects and Research at CISS
Pablo Vommaro , Director of Research at CLACSO
Lourdes Jiménez Brito . Researcher in the area of care and social security at CISS
Teresa Arteaga . Project Manager, Research Department, CLACSO
Carlos Contreras Cruz . Actuarial Researcher at CISS
Miguel Ángel Ramírez , Head of the Projects and Technical Assistance Division (CISS)
The call for proposals aims to raise awareness of the obstacles faced by many women in the region in accessing retirement benefits or pensions in their old age. Despite having performed the majority of domestic and care work throughout their lives, they often lack the necessary contributions or funds to access a pension that would allow them to maintain economic independence in their later years.
The overall objective is to analyze the relationship between women's lack of access to a pension and the care work they perform in the domestic sphere throughout their life cycle.
Registration closes: June 19, 2023
