European Pensions

European pensions are financial systems designed to provide income to individuals after retirement. They typically involve a combination of public state pensions funded through social security contributions, mandatory occupational pension schemes established by employers, and voluntary personal savings. The goal is to ensure financial stability for retirees by pooling contributions during working years and converting them into income later. Pension systems vary across European countries in structure, funding, and benefits, but all aim to balance sustainable funding with adequate retirement income, reflecting each nation’s economic and social policies.
