Read this first. This guide gives the general structure of each country's old-age pension from our own knowledge: it is not checked line by line, and it deliberately leaves out amounts and retirement ages, which change often. Use the country's pension authority for current figures and for your own case. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.

How the pension is built

Earnings-related

A public pension based on your earnings and contributions.

The safety net in old age

Little or none

Little or no state safety net in old age.

The main programs

CNSS (private-sector workers) and CMR (civil servants) retirement pensions.

Coverage depends on formal employment; informal workers have little state pension protection.

For today’s amounts and retirement age

Amounts and ages change, so ask the pension authority itself: CNSS.

Good to know

A 'minimum pension' means different things. It can be a guaranteed floor for people who contributed, a means-tested top-up, or a social pension for people who never did. The same word covers all three, so look at who qualifies and how it is tested.
Retirement ages are moving. Many countries are raising the age at which you can claim, in steps over years, and some pay men and women at different ages. We leave the numbers to each country's own authority so they are never out of date.
Amounts change every year. Pensions are usually adjusted yearly for prices or wages. Look up the current amount on the pension authority's site rather than in an article or table.
Moving countries. If you have worked in more than one country, treaties and, within the EU, the coordination rules can combine your insured years. Ask each pension authority, and keep proof of every period you worked.
Check what counts for you. Years of residence, years of contributions, caring years and earlier retirement for some jobs all change the result. The pension authority can give you a forecast for your own record.
