In the research, we analyze the gender pension gap to focus on understanding and tackling the fac-tors that lead to inequality in the workplace. In the EU, it is analyzed that women usually earn less than men per hour, but there are notable variations between member states, making it difficult to find the factors behind this gap. Historically, efforts have been made to improve wage inequalities and, pensions too. As efforts for global gender pay equality continue, recognizing the unique barri-ers each continent faces is crucial. Gender discrimination could be defined as the unfair treatment of people based on their sex, usually favoring one gender over another and resulting in inequalities in opportunities, rights, and treatment. In addition, a person's earnings throughout their working life have a direct impact on their pension benefits. A higher income generally leads to a higher pension. Factors influencing the pension gap are age, marital status, number of grandchildren, financial sup-port, country, income, and years of education. Data from SHARE is used, a comprehensive re-search database that provides valuable insights into the health, aging, and retirement experiences of older people across Europe. Descriptive statistics are essential for statistical analysis and help to un-derstand the data. A linear regression model is applied, with pensions as the dependent variable and the above influencing factors as independent variables. Then, through the Oaxaca-Blinder decom-position method, pension differences are analyzed, decomposing the gap into explained (observable characteristics) and unexplained (unobservable) components. Finally, understanding and addressing the gender pay and pension gap requires a multifaceted approach that takes into account industry variations, societal expectations, discrimination, education, maternity penalties, and various influ-encing factors.
