Hint: Basic state pension which is now known as "Old Age Pension" was introduced in the country United Kingdom(Britain). Pension is a source for the old people who aren't able to work in any economic activities.

Complete answer:
1903: Earlier, first old-age pension paying a non-contributory amount between 10p and 25p per week, from age 70. Liberal politician David Lloyd-George introduced "Pensions Day"
1906: The pension was started to be paid from 1 Jan in 1909, and those who are eligible had to apply it to the local pension committee, which started in Oct 1908 which was set up by the county councils. Those eligible persons had to be over the age of 70. It was open to both men and women, both married as well as single.
1908: Old-Age Pension Act 1908 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland, which was passed in 1908. The Act is said to be a foundation for social welfare. Earlier the pension was given to people who have the age 70 or more than .but after a while the age decided was 65. so whoever has the age 65 men/ women both will get the pension.
1911: In 1911, the first state-operated old age pension scheme formed in Canada. But old age pension programs elsewhere directly affected the character and timing. It also affects social culture.
