The minimum pension for self-employed persons is a safety cushion that is guaranteed when the worker can prove a professional activity covering at least 2/3 of a complete career. The years spent as a worker in salaried employment are counted as well.
As it pertains to a minimum, this pension is ultimately accorded only if the amount of it exceeds the pension calculated on the basis of the professional income.

The minimum pension should not be confused with the Income Guarantee for Seniors, for which no career requisites are required.
