Total number of members in retirement pensions in the Netherlands 1998-2022
In 2022, retirement pensions in the Netherlands had approximately 5.9 million members. The Dutch pension system is made up of three pillars, which combines a pay-as-you-go system funded by the current working population, alongside personal pension plans separated into two pillars. It mandates compulsory participation for all Dutch residents, including both employed and self-employed workers and is financed through capital funding and the triangular relation between employer, employee and pension providers.
