German women continue to receive significantly lower pensions compared to their male counterparts. In 2023, the average pension income for women aged 65 and over in Germany stood 27% lower than that of men. Several factors contribute to this disparity, including part-time work, lower-paid jobs, and frequent career interruptions due to caregiving responsibilities. Consequently, women are more likely to face poverty in old age, with 20.8% of women over 65 at risk of poverty compared to 15.9% of men in the same age group.
