Integración de lagunas en clave de género: ¿más allá de las pensiones del RETA?A propósito de la Sentencia del Juzgado de lo Social número 1 de Granada 434/2022, de 13 de octubre

Abstract

Once again, through a sentence, the demand for a profound correction of the Social Security Law in terms of gender is evident. This perspective has been highlighted once again in the judgment of the Social Court Num. Granada 1, 434/2022, October 13. Indeed, rather than a flexible interpretation of the regulatory norms, it leads to a corrective reading, rewriting its meaning based on equality between women and men, specifically, about the technique of integration of contribution gaps. Precisely, it equates the situations assimilated to registration as a job seeker to those of absence of such registration in periods dedicated to reproductive work, not so much because of their biological condition as women but because of gender. That is, due to the sexist social and cultural construction created around it, especially when it comes to sharing the work of caring.
