Voluntarily until 67

During the 17th Pension Forum, the Minister of Labor addressed concerns regarding the potential difficulty of retiring at 63 due to proposed increases in required insurance years from 33 to 38. Minister Mousiouttas clarified that while early retirement will become more challenging, workers will be encouraged to remain employed until 65 or voluntarily until 67. The government aims for this extended work period to be a matter of choice for those seeking additional benefits, rather than a necessity driven by inadequate pension income.
