Pension credits for care periods are a key policy lever to protect the pension rights of carers and support gender equality in pensions. They are designed to compensate for a break in ‘working time’ so that there are no significant gaps in pension entitlements. Pension care credit policies support pension adequacy and gender equality as caring responsibilities for both children and elderly persons are often undertaken by women.
