While we've been quite good at predicting life-expectancy gains, we've systematically been too optimistic about future fertility trends. That means there's a significant risk we're underestimating population ageing today too.
We better prepare pension systems for a low-fertility future.

On average, women's pensions are 23% lower than men's in the OECD. This gap reflects both past gender inequalities in the labour market - gender gaps in career length, hours worked and hourly wages - and redistributive elements in the pension system that can compensate for those.
