More than half of pensioners in Portugal are over 75 years old. According to Social Security data, 52% of people receiving pensions in Portugal are in this age group.

The data reveals a trend of aging among the Portuguese pensioner population. This reality reflects the increase in average life expectancy in the country.

The Social Security figures confirm that Portuguese people are living longer and longer. This aging of the demographic structure has significant implications for the pension system and the country's social policies.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by this demographic reality, whether as pensioners, family members of elderly people, or contributors to the Social Security system. The aging of the population poses significant challenges for the sustainability of the pension system and for the definition of public policies to support the elderly.
