Research that takes the gender dimension into account is found in most scientific disciplines. For instance, a legal research project may investigate how gender-neutral legal rules affect women and men differently. An example of this is the effect of retirement pension rules. In many countries the rules are universal and gender neutral, and pensions are based on previous income. In practice, however, this theoretically gender‑neutral rule may have different outcomes for women and men. Women who have worked part-time or stayed at home to take care of children receive much lower pensions than men(and women) who have worked full-time. In legal research, the gender dimension involves exploring how gender relations influence the distribution of rights and duties, benefits and disadvantages, legal protection and punishment. 2, record 2, English, - gender%20dimension

La pension universelle a l'avantage de faciliter la couverture des personnes qui n'ont jamais fait partie de la main-d'œuvre active ou dont le séjour sur le marché du travail a été court ou intermittent. Son coût élevé si l'on veut assurer un revenu adéquat aux bénéficiaires.
