Solution

Old age pensions are unilateral payments or transfer payments. These are not included in the estimation of national income. On the other hand, retirement pensions are like a deferred wage. These are related to factor services rendered by the recipients prior to their retirement. Accordingly, these are included in the estimation of national income.
