Comment(s)

• Statistics are recorded as of December 31 of a year until reporting year 2014 and in December of the year starting from reporting year 2015.
• Starting with the reporting year 2020 the publication of the results of the statistics on recipients of basic security benefits due to old age or reduced earning capactiy will be carried out using the confidentiality procedure of rounding off by 5. With the rounding by 5, all absolute values of a table with recipient figures are rounded up or down to the nearest value divisible by 5. The maximum deviation from the respective original values is thus at most 2 for each value.

Refresh period of data
