Rezumat

The purpose of our study was to determine the features of gender and age composition of retirees, people with disabilities in Kyiv and evaluate the gender gap in pensions. To see gender differences we analyzed corresponding statistical indicators including using demographic and cartography methods. Some indicators were compared by gender and age, types of pensions and by districts of the city. Obtained results proved the significant gender gap in the majority types of pensions. The determining factors were also stated. Our analysis showed that despite of higher average pension size in Kyiv comparing with other cities, rather large share of pensioners receive pensions lower than actual subsistence level. The share of persons receiving too small pensions is much higher among women in all districts of Kyiv. We have identified need to improve methods to collect official statistical data about people with disabilities and their necessities. The issue of gender statistics on people with disabilities is especially critical. The paper focuses on changes in structure of people with disabilities by disability groups and gender characteristics of newly recognized persons with disabilities. A notable trend has been the increase in the share of women among newly recognized persons with disabilities over the last decade. We hope that our research will broaden the understanding of gender inequalities in the economic status of pensioners and situation of persons with disabilities in Ukraine on the local level.
