Retirement age in the Netherlands
Discussion
6/15/2011
The top business leaders, lawmakers and other government officials came together in the Netherlands last week to reach an agreement about how to strategically plan for boomers, who are expected to put an unprecedented demand on pensions and healthcare in the coming years.
One of the most prominent changes to be implemented will be a gradual rise in retirement age, from 65 to 67. While this policy has largely been accepted by most Dutch, the second reform to the pension industry, which ends "centrally-enforced guarantees," has become a source of controversy, according to Financial News.
