Working longer, living better – Women at work

Just as fewer women than men are in paid employment, many more women than men work part time, often in order to fulfil domestic and caring responsibilities. This has implications for women’s income, career prospects and retirement provision, with the risk of women not having an adequate income in later years. This fact sheet forms part of the Eurofound resource pack on Working Longer, Living Better – Europe’s coming of age. The pack explores the impact of an ageing society and workforce, providing insights into developments at EU, national and company level.
