Use retirement ages carefully

A headline retirement age can hide contribution requirements, cohort rules, early or deferred routes, gender transitions and benefit reductions. Each country profile links to official or institutional sources for verification.

Compare pension architecture

Retirement age is only one part of a pension system. Public pension type, social assistance, workplace saving and portability can change how the age label works in practice.
