eläkeläisillä

Eläkeläisillä refers to people who are receiving a pension, typically in Finland. The term translates directly to "on pensions" or "by pensioners," indicating their status as recipients of retirement benefits. This status is usually acquired after a person reaches a certain age and has fulfilled the necessary contribution requirements to the pension system.

In Finland, the pension system is designed to provide financial security for individuals in their later years. Eläkeläisillä are a significant demographic group within society, and their economic well-being and social integration are often subjects of public discussion and policy-making. The specific amount of pension received can vary based on factors such as previous earnings, length of working life, and the type of pension (e.g., statutory earnings-related pension, occupational pension, or national pension).

The term is often used in contexts related to social services, healthcare, and leisure activities, as these are areas where the needs and interests of pensioners are particularly relevant. Understanding the concept of eläkeläisillä is crucial for comprehending Finnish social and economic structures, particularly concerning its aging population and the provisions made for their retirement.
