The retirement age has not changed for generations, so much so that it has been treated almost as a natural gift. However, those who deal with the subject know that it has changed from time to time, although it is rarely written st 7. By the end of the 1920s, he was already 65 years old in Hungary. For the Social Democrats, this immediately gave them a solid point for the program: they demanded that it be reduced to 60. Ironically, this requirement was finally accepted by the Sztogai government, which – for the first time in the history of Hungary – set a minimum age for women of 55.
This then remained unchanged across systems, even after a long period of system change, until a single retirement age (unisex) was finally announced and gradually increased to 62 years. This was achieved by men in the beginning of the 2000s and by the end by women – so that the gradual increase of 65 years we have achieved this year will be announced immediately.
Meanwhile, in many countries – Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Slovakia – the raising of the retirement age is not temporary, not a predetermined value, but is related to the life expectancy of members of society, which is expected, spending Regardless of the similar volatility of 2020, to show a steady upward trend.
As life expectancy is going up because we’re getting better health, so we can work longer and longer, that would make sense in Hungary as well. to advertise Continuing to raise the retirement age, which is now over, but in such a way as to increase it in the future by the same amount as life expectancy. In Slovakia, for example, the method chosen is to set the life expectancy of retirees and increase the age limit so that it remains constant.
