Pension entitlements; singles and parents single-parent households, 2005-2012

This table provides insight into the accrued and attainable pension entitlements of persons without a partner aged 15 to 65 who are resident in the Netherlands.Only the pension entitlements of the single or the parent are included in a one-parent household. In short, the claims of children living at home do not count. Institutional households and other households are also not included in this statistics. In the Netherlands, the pension system consists of three components, these are called pillars. The first pillar is the collective retirement pension resulting from the General Old Age Act (AOW). The second pillar is the collective labour-related pension accrual. The third pillar includes individual products from insurers. These can be closed to fill (deficiencies in) the first and second pillars. Data on the third pillar are (yet) not included in the pension entitlements statistics. In addition to the aforementioned pillars, the assets of individuals such as savings and real estate can be used as a pension provision. All stated amounts are gross per year and rounded to EUR 100 and concern averages per person. The pension entitlements reflect the situation on 31 December. The selections have as reference date the last Friday before Christmas. Data available from: 2005 Status of the figures: The figures from 2005 to 2012 are final. Changes as of 27 October 2017: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? When supplementing the data for 2013 and 2014, the methodology for compiling the pension entitlements statistics was examined in more detail. It turned out that the publication of detailed data for this statistics is no longer justified. The series has therefore been discontinued. The set of key figures is provided with new figures, see table of pension entitlements of persons; key figures (see paragraph 3).
