Aim, structure and tasks of the organization

    As a statutory co-operation body, the Finnish Centre for Pensions operates in support of a sustainable, reliable, fair and efficiently organized pension provision. We produce official statistics on pensions, maintain registers and provide services common to the decentralized earnings-related pension scheme. Clients utilizing our expertise include pension providers in the private and public sectors, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela), the authorities, decision-makers, researchers, educational institutions, the media, as well as the insured and policyholders. We are also an international liaison body: we forward pension applications filed in Finland to pension providers abroad and respond to various pension queries. As a research institution accredited by the EU, our research is valued and used in the assessment and development of the earnings-related pension scheme in Finland. Our objectives, administration and funding are defined by the Act on the Finnish Centre for Pensions, a Council of State regulation on our operations and the working order approved by our Board.
