Belgium experiences significant rise in citizens working beyond official retirement age. Human resources company Acerta reports strong workforce participation among elderly individuals recently.
This increase has been attributed to newly introduced retroactive pension bonus legislation nationwide.
Regulation published in June incentivizes seniors to accrue higher pensions when working. Number of voluntary employees above sixty-six quadruples compared to last year's figures.
Belgium's workforce profile gradually ages, with overall average worker age steadily rising upward. Data shows desk workers prolong careers, while physical laborers leave workforce earlier than others.
