neutral  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.

Thank you Sven.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  E2efour (X): 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.

  -> Nope, that's period or year; please see http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=38209
