Women's pensions on average 30% lower than men's – OpenDataBot

The average pension Ukrainian women receive in 2021 is UAH 3,031.32 (US$110), which is 30% lower than men's average pension, which stands at UAH 4,242.53 (US$154).

That's according to OpenDataBot, a business data registration monitoring service.

"The 'average' does not mean 'basic.' In fact, only about 19.2% of population receive a UAH 3,001-4,000 pension (US$109-145). For the majority of Ukrainian pensioners, the situation is even worse: 38.8% receive UAH 2,001-3,000 (about US$72-108), while only 3.8% get pensions over UAH 10,000 (US$362)," the report says.

According to the Pension Fund, over 11 million pensioners are registered in Ukraine today.
