Análisis de la brecha pensional de género en Colombia: reflejo de una legislación que pone en desventaja a las mujeres

The women's pay gap is a commonly discussed topic, nonetheless in Colombia there is no discussion around other gender gaps. In particular, there is little to no discussion around the gender pension gap. This gap refers to the low percentage of women in comparison with men that get to have a contributory pension, and the fact that women have lower pensions than men. This paper is one of the first research in the topic in Colombia, which analyses and quantifies the gender impact on the pension benefits, the replacement ratio, and the retirement age; besides from studying other socio-demographic characteristics as the civil status and the number of dependants. This research finds that within the private pension funds women receive a pension benefit 14.2% lower than men's, in the public pension system the difference is -5.7%. This gap rises as the wages before retirement grow. Regarding the replacement rate the difference is -6,7% affecting women in the private pension system. Lastly, women retire 2.53 years earlier than men in the private pension system, in the public one the difference is of 4.5 years. In conclusion, this paper confirms that women get lower pension benefits, lower replacement rates, and retire earlier than men, just for being women.
