Öregségi

Öregségi is a Hungarian adjective meaning related to old age or aging. It is formed from the stem öreg (old) with the suffix -ségi, which creates terms describing a characteristic or relation. In Hungarian, öregségi is primarily used in formal or technical contexts to denote age-related attributes or conditions.

In everyday and policy language, öregségi commonly appears in compounds such as öregségi nyugdíj (old-age pension), öregségi ellátás (old-age benefits), and öregségi gondozás (elder care). The related noun öregedés denotes the process of aging; the adjective öregségi emphasizes the attribute of age rather than the person. The term can also appear in medical or gerontological contexts to discuss age-related conditions or services targeting older people.

Within the Hungarian social security and welfare framework, öregségi nyugdíj refers to retirement benefits provided to individuals who have reached the required retirement age and met contribution requirements defined by law. While the specifics may vary over time and by policy, the term generally signals benefits tied to aging and the transition from work life to retirement. Öregségi concepts also shape discussions about elder care, social support, and demographic aging in Hungarian public discourse.
