Dutch state pension age stays at 67 years and 3 months in 2032
The age at which people get their state pension (AOW) will not rise in 2032. People born between 1 October 1964 and 30 September 1965 now know when they will get it.
The age at which people in the Netherlands start receiving their state pension (AOW) will not rise in 2032. It stays at 67 years and 3 months, social affairs minister Hans Vijlbrief wrote to parliament, the government said on Friday.
Life expectancy
Every year, the government sets the AOW age for 5 years ahead. Whether the age goes up follows automatically from the life expectancy forecast for 65-year-olds by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
According to CBS, people who turn 65 in 2032 can expect to live another 21.08 years on average, or 21 years and 29 days. That is a small increase on 2031. Life expectancy is still rising, but more slowly than before.
Who this affects
Until 2027, the AOW starts at 67. From 2028 it starts at 67 years and 3 months, and that will not change in 2032. People born between 1 October 1964 and 30 September 1965 now know when they will receive their AOW.
