Retirement age: One size does not fit all

The European population is ageing, challenging both the financial and social sustainability of pension systems. By 2050, Portugal will face one of the most alarming scenarios, with roughly two people aged 65 or more for every three at working age — almost doubling the 2016 figure. Reforms in the health system and the labor market are of utmost importance to ensure our pension system remains financially and socially stable throughout the ageing process of our society.
