eläketurvakeskus

Eläketurvakeskus (ETK) is a Finnish government agency that acts as the information center and expert body for the earnings-related pension system in Finland. It operates under the oversight of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. ETK collects, analyzes and publishes data on pensions and related demographics, compiles actuarial analyses, and provides independent information and guidance to insured individuals, employers and pension providers.

Its core activities include publishing statistical releases and reports on pension accrual, retirement ages, pension reform effects, and the financial status of the earnings-related system. It maintains up-to-date information materials, guides, and tools to help people understand their pension rights and how pensions are calculated. The centre also coordinates with other authorities and institutions involved in social security and pension provision, such as Kela and private pension providers, to monitor the functioning and sustainability of the pension system.

ETK serves as a source of policy-relevant analysis and supports decision-makers with impartial information about pension developments, trends, and projections. It aims to promote transparency and informed decision-making among the public and professionals working with pensions.
