A Romanian retiree with 23 years of work experience receives a pension of only 1,281 lei, equivalent to the minimum social pension. This situation highlights the dissatisfaction among citizens who believe longer work periods should lead to higher pensions. The pension amount is determined not only by years worked but also by the contributions made, which can result in similar pension amounts for those with different work histories. Approximately 900,000 retirees receive state supplements to reach the minimum pension level, raising concerns about fairness in the pension system.
