What is your retirement age in your country?

I believe that it is 62 or o5 years of age in the United States.. I think that a Senior Citizen is 62 years of age.

the retirement age in my country is now 62 years old. it used to be 55 years old until about 8 years ago. there are plans now to raise the retirement age to 65 in two years time. however, certain jobs have a lower retirement age due to the nature of the job. like our army officers are required to retire at 50 because of the operational requirements. i've got 29 years more to go before i have to retire but i'm hoping to retire at 50. my retirement dream is to go to china and study in the BNU for a degree in chinese literature so 50 is a good age for that. cheers

It is mainly 65. People born before a certain year date can retire earlier...my friend who is 66 was able to retire at 61. Sorry, unable to do the required length of response...

Hi Ronaldinu, our retirement age here is 55, and the individual company can choose to extend the employee's contact yearly. However, if I can afford it, I would really like to retire early..it would be a pleasure to enjoy life, and do the things I like, before I grow too old!

Well here in Kuwait we can retire at the age of 60 and I still have 16 years to go to achieved my retirement period and just sit and enjoy my time with the children and vacation as well......

Here in the philippines, the legal retiring age is also 65. that is compulsory. with regards to the retirement benefit, we have here an option to have an early retirement at the age of 50 years old, provided, you have spent atleast 10 years with the company. in such case, you will be exempted from the retirement benefit tax. Well, i am still not sure if i will reach that age while still working since it is still 37 years before i become 65. and i am not working right now (just resigned from my job last march). i want to be a full-time wife also.

The normal age for retirement here is 65 but it can vary depending on where one is employed. I worked for a large brewery in Dublin and for women, the retirement age was 50 and for men it was 55. Nowbody complained as we had a great pension and we could also take a cash lump some. After we retired we still had all the benefits which we had while we were working, such as free medication and doctors, free private hospitals, free dinners and social benefits. I think my husband will work until he drops as he loves his work and he doesn't have to retire at any particular age.

In my country, the retirement age of employees are 58 years in many state Governments. In other states and central Government jobs, it it 60 years. Still five to seven years less than that in your country! Thanks for your nice discussion!

so you're 38?hehehe so the retirement age in your country is just the same in our country.. the retiremnet age in the philippines in also 65. but you have an option to do early retirement i just dont know how old.. i'm not very much concern about retirement yet!!hahaha

In the UK the pension age is 60 for women,(they are talking of increasing it to 65) 65 for men. However you can work beyond that age if you like. I have only 2 years to go but I'm hoping to carry on working at least part-time for longer than that. It depends on my health and my employer though!

Unless I am completely out of touch here the retirement age in the UK is sixty for women and sixty five for men.But there are gradually adjusting the retirement age,so retirement will come a little later than that.I feel that the present age is about right,and that there is at least chance of having some form of enjoyable retirement when you are in your early to mid sixties,but as they make it older people are going to have less time to enjoy their retirement.For many people the very word fills them with horror!time on their hands,no work to attend ,a loss of importance,a loss of status,no schedule to follow,and for many it signals a time of depression.But the busier that you keep yourself the more occupied that you keep your self the better retirement will be.If you choose to sit about and mope ,think of what could have been and what you are missing out on then it will be a long retirement..so get out and make hay while the sun shines!

Hi ronaldinu, The retirement age for women is 60 ande for men is 65, but the goverment is trying to rasie it to 65 for women and 70 for men, I no longer warks so I won't have to worry about that. Tamara

Hi ya ronaldinu In the UK it is 60 for women and 65 for men, I would have thought it would have been the same in Malta!! I have only got 23 years to go! I dare say that time will go quick!

In I ndia it is 60..loong time to go when u think of so many young guys hanging around waiting for jobs and are more productive and wasting all time energyin the wrong things..

Full retirement in the US used to be 65, but it is going up a little bit every year.You can still draw retirement at a reduced rate at a younger age. Hubby was 62 years, plus four months. I am quite a bit younger than he is. Full retirement for me will be over 66. Actually, I feel that I may never retire, although I can draw full retirement in around twelve years.

I think that in Australia you are able to retire from 55 but the standard retirement age is 65. I believe there are certain criteria you need to meet to retire at 55 but to be honest I am not across what these conditions actually are. It's a little far away yet for me to know these things!

Our retirement age here in the UK is 65 years, but they are talking about putting it up to 70 because there is a larger older population than before.
