This indicator provides the percentage of individuals living in households with at least one member aged 65+ who receives a pension payment. Pension receipt is determined using a combination of questions in the survey. Where possible, questions asking directly about pension receipt, and type of pension are used. If such questions are not included in the survey questionnaire, non-zero values of pension receipt as a source of income are used instead. A number of different pensions are grouped in this database, and are categorized based on the extent to which they are individually/privately financed. Where available, contributory and non-contributory pensions are differentiated, using the information provided with each survey wave. The main types of pensions included are as follows: retirement pensions, old-age pensions, disability pensions, and survivor pensions. The type of pension included in contributory and non-contributory pensions vary, the definition of which differs by country.
