PENSION Meaning and Definition

  1. A pension is a fixed and regular payment provided to an individual, usually after they have retired, to ensure financial stability and support during their later years. It is a form of monetary compensation that serves as a replacement for income that an individual would have otherwise earned through employment. Pensions are typically sponsored by employers or governments, and the amount received is determined by factors such as length of service, salary history, and the terms of the pension plan.

    Pensions are designed to meet the needs of retired individuals who may no longer have a steady source of income. They are intended to help these individuals maintain a certain standard of living, cover basic expenses, and cope with any financial challenges that may arise in their older age. Pension payments are usually made on a regular basis, such as monthly or quarterly, and can continue until the recipient's death or for a specific period outlined in the pension plan.

    Pensions are an important component of retirement planning and are often seen as a vital source of income for older adults. Many individuals contribute a portion of their earnings towards a pension plan throughout their working years, with the expectation of receiving financial support when they retire. Pensions aim to provide individuals with a measure of financial security and peace of mind as they navigate their later years without the burden of financial instability.

  2. • An annual allowance of money from the public purse, or from a private person, without an equivalent in labour or otherwise-generally in consideration of past services; a French boarding-house or school.
    • To grant an annual allowance of money to.
