Effective retirement age rose also in the second year of the corona pandemic. In 2021, the expected effective retirement age within the earnings-related pension system was 62.4 years. It increased by six months compared to 2020.The underlying reasons for the rise were a significant drop in the number of new retirees on a disability pension and the rising retirement age following the 2017 pension reform.

Drive to defer retirement monitored by means of
• Expected effective retirement age
– corresponds in principle to life expectancy
– describes average effective retirement age if retirement and mortality rates
remain unchanged at the level of the statistical year
– is unaffected by demographic age structure
• Employment rate of older people
• Expected length of working life
– depicts the number of years that a person at a certain age can be expected
to be in an employment relationship or work as a self-employed person
during their remaining life span
– based on a method that uses cross-sectional data on mortality risk rates,
labour force participation rates and employment rates

Outlook
• The 2005 and 2017 pension reforms have increased the effective retirement
age
– in recent years, raising the retirement age has deferred retirement and reduced the
number of new retirees on an old-age pension
– the number of new disability pension retirees has declined
– the total number of new retirees has declined significantly
• Future trends will depend on changes in behaviour
– intended retirement age has risen
– retirement decisions influenced by multiple factors
• Future trends will depend on economic outlook and changes in working life
• The exceptional times have probably reduced the number of new retirees.
⇒ The number of new retirees may go up considerably in 2022. It would be no surprise if
the numbers of new retirees on old-age pension and disability pension increased
clearly from 2021.
