    Sri Lanka debt overhaul harms older women

    Oped, Published on 26/01/2024

    » The World Bank's Women, Business, and the Law Index has documented a persistent gender pension gap in rich and poor countries. This is partly because of gender-based legal disparities, such as lower mandatory retirement age for women and the lack of pension credit for periods of childcare. Because women have shorter working lives, earn less, and have a longer life expectancy than men, they often receive lower benefits, which must last longer. But the problem is most acute in low- and middle-income countries. Around two-thirds of the world's population aged 60 and older live in the developing world, and that share is projected to rise to 80% by 2050.

    » Volcanic eruptions are mesmerising. The glowing red lava, explosive power and widening fissures serve as reminders that we stand and build not on static ground, but on a very dynamic Earth. For the Icelandic port of Grindavik, the escaping magma is less of a marvel and more of a nightmare.
