The average Social Security pension is already over 1,000 euros per month. According to data published by the Ministry of Social Security on Tuesday, the average benefit of the system amounted to 1,006.85 in February , thus exceeding the four-figure barrier for the first time in history.

The figure contrasts with the barely 785 euros of 2010, which means that in the last decade the average benefit has rebounded more than 27% . And much of that growth is due to the strength with which the retirement benefits continue to grow, which are the most numerous and at the same time higher.

In the second month of 2020, a retiree receives, on average, 1,156 euros per month. If the comparison of this pension is repeated with the situation of 10 years ago, it is observed that the increase is even more pronounced: in 2010 the figure was 854 euros, so the increase is 35% .
