Great piece - and featuring our OECD Risks that Matter data!

Are #OECD #socialprotection systems doing enough for #gender equality? We find women are consistently less satisfied than men - reflecting not only gender gaps in contribution histories and entitlements, but in perceived hassle costs. Full WP at www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

New report out. This one was fun! Lots of interesting convos about how population #ageing, #inequalities & changing labour markets will affect #socialprotection in the years ahead — while also looking at newer issues like more men working part-time & green transition. oe.cd/megatrends-2...
