    1. AOW: this pension you get from the government<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The AOW is the government’s statutory pension. You build up that pension over 50 years, but only if you live and\/or work in the Netherlands. From what age you will receive AOW depends on your date of birth. If life expectancy increases, the AOW age will rise in the coming years.<\/p>\n

    The amount of AOW is not the same for everyone. Moreover, the AOW amounts are adjusted every year. Click here<\/a> for more information about the AOW and your AOW age.<\/p>\n

    Note:<\/strong> <\/span>Have you not always lived or worked in the Netherlands? If so, your AOW may be lower.<\/em><\/p>\n

    2. The pension you accrue through your work<\/strong><\/h4>\n
