In Italy, retired women are more numerous than men, but theirs pension allowance is about 30% lower. A gender gap that therefore drags from work to social security treatment due to the difference in pay, the greater career discontinuity and the fewer opportunities for career progression. This is the picture that emerges from reading the data from the Observatory of theInps on pension flows for 2022.
