A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. Beginning in 2019 pensions in Spain will be calculated with the help of a new "sustainability factor" that links payments to life expectancy – and ensures that pensions will actually fall as the average lifespan increases.

Ser incrementadas, aunque estaría bien que los pensionistas usen un sistema publico y privado para gestionar sus pensiones.
