Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Contributory Social Security pension
Pension, normally of indefinite duration, paid by Social Security through the National Social Security Institute (INSS) and the Social Marine Institute (ISM), dependent on previous legal relationship with Social Security and having met certain contributory requirements.
Pensions are classified according to the contingency class they cover.
Retirement pension
Economic benefit that consists of a lifelong, single and indefeasible benefit granted to a worker when he/she retires due to age.
Permanent disability pension
Benefit recognised for a worker who, after having received the prescribed treatment and having been given medical clearance, is seriously impaired anatomically or functionally in a foreseeably definitive manner, which reduces or annuls his/her capacity to work.
Widow's or widowers pension
Lifelong economic benefit awarded to those who have been married or were the recognised partner of the deceased satisfies the requirements.
Orphan's pension
Economic benefit granted to the children of the deceased and those of the deceased's spouse, and which satisfy the requirements.
Surviving relatives' pension
Economic benefit granted to relatives that have lived with and depended financially on the deceased and that satisfy the requirements.

Methodological aspects

The benefits are a set of measures taken by Social Security to anticipate, rectify or overcome specific unfortunate situations or specific situations of need, which usually lead to a loss of income or excessive costs for those who suffer from them.

The pensions are economic benefits given by the Social Security, paid periodically and normally lasting for life or until the beneficiary reaches a predetermined age. They can be contributive (when the right is acknowledged by virtue of contributions made) or non-contributive (when the person has no income or insufficient income and the remaining conditions established by the law are met).

The Statistics on Contributory Social Security Pensions are offered from two complementary perspectives: pensions by pensioner's municipality of residence and pensions by the province where the pension is registered.

The Statistics on Pensions and Pensioners by pensioner residence is the result of statistical processing by Idescat using the National Social Security Instituteand the Social Marine InstituteSocial Marine Institute's administrative pensions records, in accordance with a collaboration agreement with these two institutions in 2011. The aim is to obtain information as to the number and size of currently active pensions of the population residing in Catalan municipalities. This information is handled by the Provincial Directorates in Catalonia. Data is from 31 December.

Data for 2015 is not available.

You can get more information about these statistics in the methodology.
