In all these themes a code according to the response will be circled.
Retired: a person who receives a retirement from an organization of social retirement provisions. The retired has worked in the past and has contributed to the social security system; that has generated him the right to be inactive and receive a provision from the system. This provision is called retirement and can be processed when: i) the worker arrived at some determined age and reached a minimum number of years of work; ii) being active and contributing to the system, the worker remained unable to work.
Pensioner: person who receives a pension from an organization of social retirement provisions. Unlike the retired, the pensioner receives a transfer in money

(pension) without having contributed in the past to the social security system, at least for the minimum amount of time that is required in order to access retirement. The difference between being a pensioner and a retired revolves around having contributed. There are three basic reasons for which a person who did not contribute to the social security system can access a pension: i) for having an advanced age and not having other income; ii) for having "inherited" a retirement; iii) for having some disability that affects the labor activity.

120. If you are pensioner, what type of pension do you receive?
The pensioner receives a transfer from a social security organization. Unlike the retired, he hasn't contributed to the system the minimum number of years necessary in order to retire. There are three ways of accessing the pension financed with national resources. A fourth option corresponds to the individuals that receive pensions from abroad.
Elderly pension: people receive this when they are not retired but have an advanced age (this age has been changing in the years) and are of low-income. Even when the interviewer has the intuition that the interviewee doesn't satisfy these requirements, you must mark the answer that the interviewee gives.
Survival pension: this is received by the relatives of a worker who passed away, disappeared, or is in prison (for example, the spouse, the widow, the children younger than 18, the children age 18 or older with some additional demands like for example having certain disabilities, amongst others).
Disability pension: people receive this when they are seen as unable to have labor activity
Pension from abroad: this deals with pensions paid with funds from abroad, for example the pensions of the Government of Spain, etc.
