Pensions

There are two old-age pension systems in Finland: employment pensions and national pensions. The employment pension is based on all gainful employment, even in very short-term jobs, and employers have a duty to arrange pension coverage for their employees. The size of the employment pension depends on the number of working years and on the wages earned. The employment pension is also payable to persons living abroad. The national pension is a means-tested minimum pension.
