Life expectancy and years spent in retirement are rising across Europe. In response, many countries are increasing retirement ages. Denmark has already decided to raise the retirement age to 70 by 2040. Several other European countries have also passed laws to raise pension ages in the coming years. According to the OECD, Denmark will lead by 2060, with people retiring at age 74.
So, what are the current and projected retirement ages across Europe? Which countries have the highest retirement ages? Is there a gender gap in retirement ages? How will the retirement age differ between those retiring today and those just entering the workforce?
