EXTENSION OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY PERIOD AS A FACTOR REDUCING EXPENSES ON PENSIONS IN EU COUNTRIES
Abstract
The article discusses the need to prolong the periods of professional activity in order to
finance pensions paid out to an increasing number of elderly persons. The employment indices
have been presented for employees aged 54-64 and 65-70 in the EU on average and in
particular member states in the years 1995-2001, which proved varied but low in most
countries. This is visible in the phenomenon of real retirement age being on average lower by
a few years than the regular retirement age. Each year of early retirement means a shortened
period of benefit payment and extended period of benefit taking. In the recent years the
governments of all the member states pursue a policy of reversing this trend, as a result of
which the employment rates among older persons have increased.
