Abstract: The retirement stage should look the well-being of the last years of life. If the retirement pensions are insufficient people will be more exposed to live in poverty conditions. The focus of this paper consists on analyze whether the impact of the gender labor gap on retirement pensions is contributing to the feminization of poverty. First of all, we will look at the phenomenon of the feminization of poverty and the differences between men and women over the main poverty¿s indicators. Secondly, we will see the differences between men and women about the following workplace factors: salary, type of contract, level of training and study, activity tax, occupation tax and unemployment tax. Since the introduction of the women into the labor market, their activity has increased, but working conditions are worse than those of men. For example, temporary contracts and part-time work are mostly linked to women. Thirdly, we will look the differences between men and women over the retirement pensions and the non-contributory pensions, which are mainly linked to women. Through the reading of this study, we will see that the inequalities between men and women during their professional trajectories are still present in our society. The career path weighs on the retirement pension when we retire. Many women find impossible to get a retirement pension due to the requirements that the government requests to access to it. For this reason, mainly women are applying for a non-contributory pensions in order to avoid poverty and live this stage decently.
