Thanks for the insight & more detail on my hobby-horse theme!

As for your question: in Hungary, eight years ago, retirement age was slated to rise to 62 years for both sexes (from 55 and 60), with effect for everyone by 2009 (my parents just fall short of the transition shorter retirement ages).

Just for the heck of it, similarly, in Estonia retirement age is raised to 63 years for both sexes (from 58.5 and already 63) by 2016.

I should add: life expectancy is significantly lower in both countries than in Western Europe, too (tough in the last few years, rising).
