The Gender Pension Gap (GPG) and its complement, the Gender Pension Coverage Gap (GPCG) are measured on the individual level, and extend coverage of inequality between genders to the older population. The Gender Pension Gap measures the difference in average gross pension between men and women, as a percentage of the average pension of men. The Gender Pension Coverage Gap is defined as the  difference between the proportions of older men and women receiving any pension. Eurostat publishes these two indicators on gender gaps in pensions regularly, based on the EU-SILC database.
The GPG shows that in all countries of the EU, older women receive on average a lower pension than older men. In addition, the GPCG indicates that in several countries, older women are more likely than older men to receive no pension at all. The aim of this report is to ascertain, for the Member States of the European Union, the links between gender pension gaps, pension systems and gendered inequalities on the labour market in past decades.
