Belgium, according to Eurostat, has one of the lowest employment rates in the EU for persons aged 55 to 64 (25.7% in 2002 and 28.1% in 2003). This compares to 41.5% in the EU as a whole.

Who says retirement is at 65? Even with all the EU non-jobs going in Beligum, they still cant employ their people approaching retirement.

Quote:

Measures include limiting the number of people taking early retirement, stimulating employers to retain or hire older workers as well as making early retirement less attractive for both workers and employers.

If people want to and can afford early retirement, then why encourage them to do otherwise?

The rumblings across the EU are getting louder. This is going to end in chaos.
