Our article investigates the role of relative income distributions within couples for individuals’ retirement risks. It addresses the following questions: How does the share someone provides to the couple income affect that person’s retirement decision? What gender differences do we observe and what contextual factors can explain country differences? Our multilevel analyses draw on data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) study (2010–2016), comparing 26 countries. The results show that female main earners transition to retirement earlier than female secondary earners as they approach the official retirement age. This effect is even stronger in countries with more traditional gender norms. The opposite pattern is found for men, whereby male secondary earners retire earlier than male main earners in more gender traditional societies. We explain this finding on the basis of doing gender theories, which predict that gender-atypical behaviour in one area of life is compensated by traditional gender behaviour in other areas, especially in contexts with traditional gender norms. A further finding relates to the generosity of the country’s pension replacement rate, which shows to be a factor facilitating retirement especially for those with an equal earning partner.

关联生活,关联退休?夫妻之间的相对收入差异和欧洲的性别退休决定

我们的文章调查了夫妻间相对收入分配对个人退休风险的作用。它解决了以下问题:某人提供给夫妻收入的份额如何影响该人的退休决定?我们观察到哪些性别差异以及哪些背景因素可以解释国家差异?我们的多层次分析借鉴了欧盟收入和生活条件统计 (EU-SILC) 研究(2010-2016 年)的数据,对 26 个国家进行了比较。结果表明,女性主要收入者在接近官方退休年龄时比女性第二收入者更早过渡到退休。这种影响在具有更传统的性别规范的国家中更为强烈。相反的模式出现在男性身上,因此,在性别更加传统的社会中,男性第二收入者比男性主要收入者更早退休。我们在性别理论的基础上解释了这一发现,该理论预测生活中一个领域的非典型性别行为会被其他领域的传统性别行为所补偿,尤其是在具有传统性别规范的背景下。进一步的发现与该国养老金替代率的慷慨有关,这表明这是促进退休的一个因素,特别是对于那些有同等收入伙伴的人来说。
