Belgium: pension reform project targeting long careers and an intention to raise the minimum pension

In the months ahead Belgium’s ruling coalition is expected to address fresh reforms to the nation’s pension system. While the legal retirement age is not expected to be under review, the reforms do envisage changes to early retirement conditions so that people who started their careers early or who have worked part-time for a great number of years can retire earlier. Changes are also afoot for those looking to extend their working lives beyond the legal retirement age such that they could see their pension amounts being increased.
