Pensions in OECD and G20 Countries, and Singapore

OECD (2011), Pensions at a Glance 2011: Retirement-income Systems in OECD and G20 Countries, OECD Publishing.

This is a highly informative report about what old people are getting, in many countries.

This is highly recommended reading for Singaporeans.

Examples from the report 
Australia. In 2008, the very poor receives an annual state pension of AUD 14,313. This is not from employment pension.
Canada. In 2008, the very poor receives an annual state pension of CAD $13,759. This is not from employment pension.

Singapore (not in the OECD report). The very poor receives an annual state pension of S$0.00.

Old people do get their citizen ownership dividend, in some countries.
