Re: Reviewing the retirement age (none / 1)

Retirement age and the age at which you qualify for the state pension are two different things in the UK.

Re: Reviewing the retirement age (none / 0)

Could you define both?

State pension age is 60 for women, 65 for men. This is when people can draw their state pension (although if they also have private pensions when they begin to draw this is dependent on the terms of that pension).

Default retirement age is 65 for men and women afaik.

Re: Reviewing the retirement age (none / 0)

Thanks. I was also curious what these two entail. Does "default retirement age" apply solely to forced retirement, or other things too?
