WBL: Supportive Framework, Pension, Score (scale 0-100)

The Pension topic supportive frameworks score examines policies and practices that support the implementation of laws pertaining to women’s old age security, including incentives to increase women’s retirement benefits, dedicated procedures to challenge benefit decisions, measures to raise awareness about pension benefits, and the existence of sex-disaggregated data on retirement ages and amounts of pension benefits. It is divided into four indicators, some of which consist of several questions. It is calculated as the unweighted average of the indicator scores in that topic and rescaled to a 0–100 scale, where 0 represents the lowest possible score and 100 the highest possible score. For details on underlying questions and scoring assumptions, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf).
