year cohort

: Does not express the year when people were born. "Birth cohort" would be better. Added: year cohort normally means over a period of a year or a particular class of students, not the year of birth. A definition is needed.

age cohort
If this is economics or statistics, age cohort is the proper term. 455,000 hits on Google agree.

E2efour (X)
: I don't think there's any practical difference. A cohort is a group. Class of 19** is a special cohort, but not relevant for pensions.

Discussion
"Year cohort" means little and would have to be defined. "Birth cohort" means an age group, either born in the same year or in an interval.
