| Sažetak: | Over the past twenty-five years, the Swiss authorities have proposed several pension reforms, which have been systematically rejected by the population through referendums. On September 25, 2022, the AVS21 reform was approved by a very small majority. This vote increased women’s full pension age by one year, aligning it with the pension age for men (65 years). This article suggests that, like previous attempts to revise the pension system, this reform offers a key to understanding the tensions that surround the contemporary Swiss gender regime. Arguments in favor of aligning women’s pensionable age with that of their male counterparts were couched in a “gender equality” rhetoric. The AVS21 reform was presented as a tool for promoting gender-neutral life course patterns and as an inevitable consequence of the increasing gender equality in Swiss society. However, analysis of the debates that preceded the referendum shows that the conservative character of the Swiss gender regime persists, implying enduring inequalities between men and women in the labor market and in the domestic sphere. The evident mismatch between the concrete division of labor and the gender equality rhetoric that presided over these reforms undeniably fueled feminist and trade union opposition. |
