What's the age of retirement in your country?

Ther is actually no legislation here in Australia that says a certain age a person has to retire, so here a person can continue to work as long as they want to and someone will employ them. However a person can get the aged pension here when they reach 65, although if they keep on working and do not claim the pension the are entitled to a bonus lump sum payment from the government for every ear they do not claim the pension between 65 and 70. We have one friend who will be 70 in January and plans to retire then and he will get his bonus. War veterans can retire at 60 and receive their pension then if they choose or they can continue working till they are 65 and still get the bonus lump sum. The reason for this is because statistics show that on average the war veteran will die much younger than the general population who has not been to war. Pensions here are granted based on assets and income and they have a sliding scale it is worked out on. The family home is the only thng that is not included in the assets but everything else is.

i think u are right. it was 65 but someone said they had changed it to 70. you could start drawing your socail security at 62 , i did. don't know if they have changed that or nnot. i had to retire at 62 on account of bad health & i'm sure they have changed alot of things since then.

In canada the age of retirement is 65,but i know they can take early retirement without a full pension at 60.

I'm not really sure. I think in the Philippines it's around 60 years old. But I'm not really sure. Maybe in between 55-60 years old.

It is 65 in Canada. I know this because my parents are 67 and they just started receiving their pensions a couple of years ago.
