The average age of retirement continues to grow in parallel with the statutory age limit. Hungary, the retirement age is nearly two years below the EU average, while both the expected lifespan and the number of years spent in good health fall behind the EU average. It should be noted that the results for 2013 will most likely break this trend, given the possibility for women with a work history exceeding 40 years to retire regardless of their age (provided they are at least above 55).
