Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

number of retired persons receiving pension

typical German bureaucratic term, includes those retired persons who receive a state, private or corporate old age pension plan payments
Peer comment(s):

neutral Edith Kelly : 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

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

Example sentence:

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
