Belgian Pension Data Reveals Gender Gap and Supplementary Pension Impact
A new dataset from Sigedis analyses the total pension (statutory plus supplementary) for employed pensioners in Belgium by salary and career length. It shows a gender pension gap that widens with salary, but supplementary pensions help reduce the gap for mid-to-high earners. The data covers new pensioners from 2021 to 2024 with careers of 35-39 years.
