There is no escape from late retirement

European countries face the challenge of the economic and social consequences of an aging population.

One of the key instruments that is used to achieve these goals is the retirement age.

Since the turn of the century, developed countries have been gradually increasing the age at which men and women retire. These changes will continue. Of the 27 EU countries and the UK, 23 countries will raise the retirement age of women and align it with that of men, and in addition, nine of these countries also raise the retirement age of men.
