Pension Plans

Pension plans are financial programs that provide a fixed sum when employees reach a predetermined retirement age or when they can no longer work due to disability. About half of full-time workers participate in some type or pension plan at work. However, the actual rate of participation depends on several things. For example, older workers tend to have a higher participation rate, and employees of larger firms have participation rates as much as three times as high as in small firms.
