Definition: Legal retirement age
Category: ESSPROS Manual
Legal retirement age for old age benefits means the age at which old age benefits become payable, if laid down by legislation or by contract. This age can vary both between countries and within Member States, depending on the sector of activity, occupation, gender and so on. When no legal retirement age exists, a standard retirement age is to be used, which means the retirement age offered by the scheme that paid the pension to the beneficiary. This definition is identical in versions 2008 and 2011 of the Manual http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-RA-11-014-EN.pdf Eurostat, "ESSPROS Manual 2008"
