AOW (Algemene Ouderdomswet) is the Dutch state pension that provides a basic income from the state pension age. You build up AOW rights for each year you live or work in the Netherlands, so arriving as a migrant means you accrue a percentage rather than a full pension. Voluntary contributions can sometimes fill gaps in your build-up.
