Full-career single individuals being covered in Chapter 4, the analysis turns to those with different career paths or for couples. The indicators start by showing pension entitlements for couples compared to single workers. As people often spend periods out of paid work in unemployment or caring for children the following indicators show the gross pension replacement rates in mandatory pension schemes for first childcare and then unemployment breaks, with breaks of five and ten years, with a later entry also for the longer unemployment period. Next a comparison of gross replacement rates is given for alternative economic assumptions compared with the base case. Finally there is a comparison of the replacement rates for the self-employed with that of dependent employees.
