Tiivistelmä
In Finland, the pension provision consists mainly of the employment-based earnings-related pension and the residence-based national pension, which provides a minimum income. The schemes secure subsistence in old age, in the event of incapacity for work, death of the family breadwinner or the ageing person becoming unemployed.
Almost all gainful employment is covered by pension provision. Private-sector employees, self-employed persons, farmers, seamen and public-sector employees have their own pension acts.
Earnings-related pensions are financed jointly by employers and employees. National pensions are financed solely through employer contributions and tax revenues.
The handbook offers basic information on the Finnish pension scheme: its history, benefits, financing, administration and supervision, as well as future prospects. The book also contains information on supplementary pensions and pension taxation.
