WBL: Legal Framework, Pension, The ages at which a woman and a man can retire are the same

The indicator assesses whether statutory retirement ages for women and men are equal for both full and partial pension benefits. The indicator is assigned a score of 1 if the age for a woman and a man is the same, and 0 if the difference in ages is equal to or greater than 5 years. If the difference in ages is greater than zero and less than 5 years, the score is calculated using a linear function, indicating that as the age gap between men and women decreases, the score increases. The total indicator score is the sum of component scores, capped at 1.
