pensjonisten
Pensjonisten is a person who has retired from work and now receives a pension. In Norwegian, pensjonist is the common term for a retiree, while pensjonisten is the definite form used when referring to a specific retiree. Retirement typically follows reaching an established retirement age or due to health reasons, and pension payments may come from public schemes, occupational plans, or private savings.
In Norway, the pension system combines a state pension (folketrygden) with supplementary schemes and employer-based pensions.
Demographically, pensjonister constitute a growing segment of the population in many countries due to aging populations.
