This clip forms part of NCPE’s campaign on the ‘Gender Pension Gap’ and was inspired by a real-life story illustrating a woman's choices about her education or employment and the effects these had on her financial independence as well as on her pension. Due to sensitivity issues, this real-life story was acted out by a professional actor.
The project ‘Prepare the Ground for Economic Independence’, focuses on addressing the gender gaps over the life-cycle.
The project aims at:
• Increasing the awareness on both the gender pay gap and the gender pension gap;
• Increasing the knowledge through various training and outreach initiatives;
• Providing information to students on subject and future career choices;
• Revamping and re-launching the Equality Mark Certification; and
• Empowering union representatives with knowledge on equal pay for women and men.
