International pension systems
Country-by-country pension system profiles for understanding public pension benefits, workplace retirement saving, private pillars, eligibility, retirement age, portability rules, and the difference between contributory pensions and social assistance pensions.
Starting points
The Argentine pension system combines ANSES contributory retirement benefits with the Universal Pension for Older Adults for people aged 65 or older without another pension.
The Armenian pension system combines state labor pensions, mandatory funded pensions and an old-age social pension for people without labor pension entitlement.
The Australian pension system combines a means-tested Age Pension with mandatory employer superannuation contributions and voluntary retirement savings.
The Austrian pension system is centred on statutory pension insurance for workers, with company and private pensions as supplements and a compensatory supplement for low pension income.
Compare contributory public pensions with means-tested social assistance, universal or basic pensions, and state guarantee mechanisms.
Track whether systems rely on employer plans, automatic enrolment, mandatory funded accounts, contribution records, or collective occupational pensions.
Review portability notes and source links for social security agreements, residence rules, and cross-border coordination.
