Research by Moorepay indicates that state pensions in 20 out of 39 European countries are insufficient to meet living costs, excluding rent. Pensions cover living costs variably, with Luxembourg at 225% and Georgia at 22%. While many Western and Northern European countries have pensions that exceed living costs, Eastern European countries often fall short, with some pensions covering less than half of living expenses. The reliance on pensions for income among older adults is significant, with two-thirds of their income coming from public transfers. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
