New pensions statistics: 2022 results

Neuchâtel, 24.03.2017 (FSO) - In 2015 approximately 33,000 persons obtained an old-age pension for the first time from the occupational pension fund (2nd pillar), while some 41,000 persons received a lump-sum withdrawal from their 2nd pillar retirement savings. Men received far higher benefits from the 2nd pillar than women. Pensions obtained before the legal retirement age were on average the highest. These are some of the initial findings of the new pensions statistics, a new data collection compiled by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
