Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  EdithK: I believe the question related to "Bestand" and not so much to "Rentner". IMO you simply copied the main part of the answer. // And: there are also disability pensions and widow pensions paid to people who are not retired so to speak.

cohort of pensioners/annuitants


Explanation:
When in doubt, call Bestand a cohort for people. Also, a Rente can be an anuity as well as a pension.



Example sentence(s):
  • In fact we find that cohort differences more than account for the lower incomes of older pensioners www.ideas.repec.org/p/ifs/ifsewp/96-13.html
