People in heavy occupations do not keep working longer and long-term unemployment among older unemployed people is persistent. At the same time, the poverty among this group increases in the period before the state pension age, during which no pension is received. The perspective for this group is outright bad.
ANBO is not in favour of reversing the state pension age to 65 years, but insists on making the raising of the state pension age balanced. As ANBO director Liane den Haan argues, various studies report that employers also have problems with the rapid increase in state pension age and call for a flexibilisation of the state pension age.
