The same income group had, on average, 9,160 U.S. dollars in IRA (individual retirement account) pension plans. Additional info: Retirement saving It is never too early to start thinking about retirement. Plans and provisions for our twilight years often get put off as we deal with life’s more pressing demands, and with solid economic recovery still far from guaranteed, savings plans have been impacted. Despite this, those who wish to enjoy the golden years of their life should save early and save often. There are a number of saving strategies and a number of possibilities available for retirement saving, and this can seem quite daunting and difficult to figure out at first. The U.S. Department of Labor recommends determining net worth to be a good place to start i.e., the total value of assets minus the value of debts. Having ascertained this, and judging by your age, you can start planning how to get the most out of your retirement savings. You should contemplate where you want to be and how you’re going to get there. If you have age on your side, you can afford to be aggressive and put money into riskier funds. If your fund loses in value, you have time to let it grow. However, if you are getting close to retirement, more intensive and low-risk saving methods are recommended.

In 2023, the average annual gross pension in Italy amounted to some 21,400 euros. Compared to 2015, the average pension income increased by around 4,000 euros. An expensive social security system A social security system is meant to help individuals and families dealing with unexpected accidents and losses, invest in health and education, and protect the elderly. The Italian social security system is public and based on compulsory contributions made by taxpayers and managed by the state. Depending on several factors, ranging from the average age of retirement to the generosity of the benefits paid, social security can be very costly for the public administration. In 2022, in Italy there were over 16 million pensioners, defined as individuals who receive at least one type of pension benefit. The public expenditure for pensions reached almost 322 billion euros, which amounted to approximately 16 percent of the country’s GDP. The increasing popularity of pension funds Alongside the public social security system, pension funds based on voluntary contributions by private members can provide a safety net for those who want to receive a supplementary benefit. Despite being far from reaching the values registered in other countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany in terms of assets, the popularity of pension funds is growing in Italy. In fact, the value of voluntary pension funds’ contributions in Italy increased from 6.8 billion euros in 2007 to 11.3 billion euros in 2019.

Pensioners' Incomes (PI) contains estimates of the levels, sources and distribution of pensioners' incomes. It also examines the position of single pensioners and pensioner couples, including any dependent children, within the income distribution of the population as a whole. This differs from Households Below Average Income (HBAI) (see SNs 5828 and 7196), where analysis is on a household basis, and includes the income of adults not in the pensioner unit but living in the same household. The PI undertakes a few extra steps beyond the FRS and HBAI data to derive pension income variables.

The PI series is a key source of information used to inform Government thinking on relevant policies and related programmes and projects. Researchers and analysts outside the government use statistics and data to examine topics such as ageing, the distributional impacts of fiscal policies, and pensioner groups' income profiles. The PI estimates are usually based on a sample of around 7,000 adults over State Pension age, who reside in private households in the United Kingdom, taken from the Family Resources Survey (FRS).

The gov.uk Pensioners' Incomes Statistics webpage contains annual reports, accompanying tables, research, and technical papers.

PI data are also available from 1994/95 onwards via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Stat-Xplore online tool.

Secure Access PI data

The Secure Access version of the PI series (SN 9257) is available from 2007/08 onwards, whereas the standard End User Licence (EUL) data (SN 8503) are available from 2008/09. Unlike the EUL versions, the ages of the head of household and spouse have not been top-coded at 80 years in the Secure Access version. Prospective users of the Secure Access version must fulfil additional requirements beyond those associated with the EUL datasets. The Secure Access version of FRS is held under SN 9256, and the Secure Access version of HBAI is available under SN 7196.

The graph below illustrates the pension gap of the total pension of people who have recently taken their retirement pension by age. The situation of people between the ages of 61 and 66 is displayed by default. It is possible to display the other age categories (which do not appear by default) by selecting them in the ‘age’ filter. To better understand the reality behind these pension gaps, we also look at pension gaps based on the median total pension. This median total pension corresponds to the total amount of the pension of the most average pensioner; 50% are above this pension amount and 50% are below it. In the graph below, the average total pension is broken down to show the average statutory pension and the average supplementary pension. We do this for all age groups and, of course, for men and women separately. It is immediately clear that the supplementary pension is each time a small part of the total pension. The graph illustrating the evolution of the total pension gap by retirement age shows that the relative gap in the total pension has decreased by 3 percentage points since 2020 for pensioners aged 65. However, it remained constant compared to the previous year (2022).

This statistical table illustrates the average annual pension amount paid to men and women, as well as their average age and their average years of pensionable service. The ‘Pensions’ column includes immediate annuities, disability retirement benefits, and annual allowances payable to former contributors. The table also illustrates the average annual amount of survivor pensions paid to spouse/common-law partners, children and students, their average age and their average years of pensionable service. All amounts include indexation.

As of 2019, **** percent of pensioners in Italy received between *** euros and *** euros monthly, representing the most common income among pensioners.
