# Immigrants Vital to Austrian Pension System

November 10, 2026 at 03:30 PM

> The Chamber of Labour reports that workers with immigration backgrounds contributed twelve billion euros to Austria's pensions in 2025.

The Chamber of Labour Vienna reported on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that employees with a history of immigration are vital to the Austrian pension system. Between 2019 and 2025, the number of contributors with an immigration history rose by 365,000 people.

Data from the Dema Institute shows that employment in Austria has grown exclusively through immigration since 2019. While contributors with an immigration history increased, those without decreased by 155,000, resulting in a total net gain of 210,000 workers.

President Renate Anderl noted that these workers provide up to twelve billion euros annually, or one quarter of all contributions. This support is critical as the baby boomer generation retires, though many immigrants lack claims to heavy labor pensions.
