Options for Early Retirement

We have identified five options for early retirement that are used by other countries. Those five options are:

• The option of an early retirement for people with a working history of many years or those who started working life early.
• The option of early retirement for individuals in certain occupations or with certain work tasks.
• The option of early retirement or downsizing through part-time work solutions and partial retirement solutions for older adults.
• The option of early retirement for older workers with reduced work ability through medical insurance or early retirement.
• The option of early retirement for unemployed older workers or extended unemployment benefits for older adults.

The particular design of early retirement options differs between
in different countries. But they are sufficiently similar to be considered variants of one of these five solutions. Combinations of different solutions also occur.
