Who are the people who have recently taken their retirement pension?

Description of the study population
In 2022, 114,294 people received their retirement pension for the first time, which they did not accumulate with a survivor’s and/or separated or divorced spouse’s pension. This figure represents 4% of all pensioners who received a statutory pension in 2022. Comparing the population of recent pensioners to the total population of pensioners (i.e. all persons who received a statutory pension in 2022), we see several discrepancies.
