Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional from 'retirement' (the period after leaving paid work) and 'program' (an organized plan or system): a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this is a program related to retirement, typically a savings or benefit plan. This noun-noun combination follows a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so the sense is immediately accessible without special idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
Retirement program comes from two simple ideas: retirement meaning 'to stop working' and program meaning a planned set of steps. Imagine a routine that puts money into a safe box little by little so you can stop work later — that's why it means 'a plan to save money to use after someone stops working'.
