My grandpa worked in a couple diff countries in eurrope back in 1900’s, he worked for 5 years in 2 diff countries and then came back to work in his home country for 30 years and ended up getting pension from 3 countries.
Atleast back then you had to work for 5 years in a country to get their pension.
I worked in Germany, started apprenticeship to become a heating engineer when I was 16 for 3.5 so that time I payed in but not much, then I worked 2 years in a factory but in between I was in military, but I guess this counts to some degree. Then I went back to school to be able to go to university.
But then I moved to Sweden, there I worked 1.5 years as a paperboy during the night while learning the language. Then I worked for 2 years as a web frontend developer and then I went to University. During University I worked half time as a iPhone app and web developer for about 5 years. Then I worked for 7 years as a embedded developer at a car supplier company.
And then I moved to Korea and worked here for 3 years with the same.
So at 46 I only have 14 years of 100% work and 5 years at 50% work and then those very low paying jobs 5 years and one year of military. And that between 3 countries and two continents.
There was a woman here that used to work at a national park for 20 years but only 5 - 7 months every year, and after 20 years they finally accepted her for full time, she is now 47 but needs to work a minimum another 30 years to get minimal pension.
She didn’t have the means to leave the country to look for work, and no other job wanted to hire her even thiught she would send couple hundred job application each year.
Now she is stuck having to work till she is almost 80 for any kind of pension.
