Chau, C.M., Foster, L. orcid.org/0000-0003-1471-842X and Yu, S. (2017) The effects of defamilisation and familisation measures on the accumulation of retirement income for women in the UK. Journal of Women and Aging, 29 (6). pp. 551-561. ISSN 0895-2841
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the link between the effects of pro-market pension reforms on women and familisation/defamilisation measures. It aims to contribute to the study of this link in three ways. Firstly, it identifies defamilisation/familisation measures which have the potential to reduce negative effects of pro-market pension measures on women. Secondly, based on the examples from the UK, it shows that the government’s willingness to provide sufficient defamilisation/familisation measures to assist women to deal with the negative effects of the pro-market pension measures should not be taken for granted. Thirdly, it suggests ways for tackling this problem.
