Income and Poverty

The transition for individuals from work to retirement leads to change in their source of income, possibly moving from a paid income to a pension or retirement fund. Once retired, pensions provide older persons with an income and thereby plays a part in protecting them from poverty. Financial insecurity in older age may lead to poverty and other forms of social exclusion.
