[History]
Around 1968, organizations of employees' pensioners began to be created on a prefectural basis to increase pensioners understanding about the pension system and promote mutual friendship and welfare. To foster cooperation among these prefectural organizations and carry out joint projects to improve the welfare of pensioners, the National Federation of Employees' Pensioners' Associations (Zenkoren) was founded in October 1972 by the prefectural organizations. In July 1982, the Director-General of the Social Insurance Agency approved Zenkoren as a corporate judicial person.



Zenkoren supports affluent and comfortable lives of pensioners.
Zenkoren carries out a variety of activities for its member pensioners, including petitions on pensions, medical care, and care for the elderly, lectures on the pension system and on cultural and recreational themes, and organizing volunteer activities, sports events, and group tours. In addition, Zenkoren provides its members with various services, such as discounts on hotels, tours, recreation facilities, and ceremonies, and offers personal injury and cancer insurance plans at reduced costs.


Zenkoren also conducts activities entrusted by the Social Welfare Agency.
Entrusted by the Social Insurance Agency, Zenkoren organizes lectures on welfare for the elderly, projects for promoting better life-styles, and educational activities about the pension system. Its prefectural associations conduct these activities for their respective members.
