Italy faces rising retirement age, but shorter working lives than most of Europe

By: We the Italians Editorial Staff

Italy is preparing for another rise in the retirement age - yet the average length of working life remains among the shortest in Europe. It’s a paradox that emerges when national and European data are compared, revealing a country where people retire later but actually work for fewer years.

Starting in 2027, the legal retirement age will begin to increase again. Today, Italians can retire at 67, but projections show that by 2050 it will climb to almost 69, and by 2067 could reach 70.
