The Netherlands traditionally had ample early retirement possibilities.
Several reforms introduced from the late 1990s onward contributed to the successful
reversal of this early exit trend. As a result, in 2018, employees on average retired
at age 65.0, representing a three-year increase in the last ten years.
This chapter
describes the Dutch pension system and recent employment, health and care policies
and reforms that have likely shaped the changes in the effective retirement age. We
conclude with a short discussion of the current debate about future changes to the
statutory retirement age and consider other potential avenues through which policies
could yield further increases in the effective retirement age of Dutch workers.
