The payment of retirement pensions in EU member states continue between 15 and 25 years, on average. In Bulgaria, men receive a pension for an average period of 14 years, and women for almost 19 years.

This was reported by the head of the National Social Security Institute, Ivaylo Ivanov, for the BNR. The analysis of the pension system in Bulgaria should be ready by the end of this year, he added.
