| Differences in Slovak men’s and women’s pensions lowest in EU |
| Bratislava, 10.03.2015 |

| Young women are more educated than they were in the past and have better opportunities to take care of themselves as well, a study published by the Allianz Group based on information provided by the Statistics Office of the European Commission (Eurostat) informs.
As many as 73.7 percent of Slovak women aged 20-24 have secondary school or university education, the TASR newswire quoted the study. Slovak men ended up in second place among all the countries researched. As many as 80.1 percent of Slovak men aged 20-24 completed a secondary school or university; Slovakia thus finds itself among the most educated countries in Europe.
Even though women live more independent lives when compared to past generations, they still have lower incomes. They often sacrifice much for their families and have part-time jobs, which leads to lower pensions than for men. According to the study, pensions of men are 40 percent higher than women’s in the European Union on average. Meanwhile, Slovakia is in first place in the EU in terms of pension equality between men and women, with the lowest difference in men’s and women’s pensions – only 8 percent.
