ensuring gender equality in occupational pension schemes in order to adjust the Gender Equality Recast Directive to Court of Justice case law: the Directive allows different treatment of women and men in relation to occupational pensions due to their different statistical life expectancy, which leads to women receiving a lower monthly pension because on average they live longer (therefore contributing to the gender pension gap); such practice was found discriminatory and prohibited by the Court of Justice for state pensions in 2014 and for private pensions (insurance contracts) in 2011.
l-iżgurar ta' ugwaljanza bejn is-sessi fl-iskemi ta' pensjoni okkupazzjonali bil-għan li tiġi aġġustata d-Direttiva riformulata dwar trattament ugwali tal-irġiel u n-nisa għall-ġurisprudenza tal-Qorti tal-Ġustizzja: id-Direttiva tippermetti trattament differenti ta' nisa u rġiel rigward il-pensjonijiet okkupazzjonali minħabba l-istennija tal-għomor statistikament differenti tagħhom, li jwassal biex in-nisa jirċievu pensjoni ta' kull xahar aktar baxxa peress li bħala medja, huma jgħixu aktar (ħaġa li tikkontribwixxi għad-diskrepanza fil-pensjonijiet bejn is-sessi); din il-prattika tqieset diskriminatorja u ġiet ipprojbita mill-Qorti tal-Ġustizzja għall-pensjonijiet tal-Istat fl-2014 u għall-pensjonijiet privati (kuntratti tal-assigurazzjoni) fl-2011.
