eläkepäivärahojen

Eläkepäivärahat is a Finnish term that translates to "pension benefits" or "retirement benefits". It refers to the financial payments received by individuals who have reached the statutory retirement age and have fulfilled the conditions for retirement. These benefits are typically provided by the Finnish social security system, primarily through the Finnish Centre for Pensions (Eläketurvakeskus) and the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela).

There are several types of pension benefits in Finland, including old-age pensions, disability pensions, and survivors' pensions. Old-age pensions are the most common, paid to individuals who have worked and contributed to the pension system for a sufficient period. Disability pensions are provided to individuals who are no longer able to work due to illness or injury. Survivors' pensions are paid to the surviving spouse or dependent children of a deceased person who was insured under the pension system.

The amount of pension benefits is generally based on an individual's earnings history and the length of their working life. Contributions are made by both employees and employers during the working years, which form the basis for the future pension payments. The Finnish pension system aims to provide a secure income for individuals in their retirement years and to support those who are unable to work. Regulations and eligibility criteria are established by Finnish law.
