A system by which the government guarantees all employed persons in the entire nation will get a certain percentage of their income by the time they retire.
This system has been fairly functional up until recently, with current demographic shifts making most current models unsustainable unless states increase the age at which a person may collect their pension.
This has effectively made most of these systems into a literal political time-bomb in the countries in which they have been implemented because the taxes that must be levied against individuals and the companies that employ them to pay for such funds has made it so that only the ultra wealthy or very well off can feasibly keep a private retirement fund, meaning that with every year the government increases the retirement age they are effectively forcing most of the population to work longer than they want to/are able to, which is shockingly very unpopular with voters.

32nd president of the United States of America and a total dipshit motherfucker who cheated on his wife, undermined the judicial branch of the Federal government (via court packing), broke the 2 terms per president norm (they made a law after this making it effectively impossible), ruthlessly undermined the opposition blaming them for the worst economic crisis in US History (the Great Depression), pushed an economic recovery plan that ended up crashing the economy again (New Deal), needed a global war to prevent his entire administration from being another shit stain on history.
