Germans could be forced to work until the age of 73. Chancellor1 Friedrich Merz has announced his intention to increase the retirement2 age to cope with the aging population and the country’s economic stagnation3.
His statement comes after a group of experts recommended raising the retirement age to 73 by 2060, compared to the current age of 65.
If implemented4, Germany's retirement age would surpass that of Denmark, which is set to increase to 70 by 2040.
Other European nations, including France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, are also reviewing their retirement ages in response to an aging population.
