The Dutch state pension age will remain at 67 years and three months in 2032, the government says, giving people born between 1 October 1964 and 30 September 1965 certainty about when they will qualify for the AOW pension.
The age is set using a forecast of life expectancy at 65. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) estimates that people who turn 65 in 2032 will live for another 21.08 years — a small increase on the forecast for 2031. Life expectancy is still rising, but more slowly than before, the government said.
The decision was set out by social affairs minister Hans Vijlbrief in a letter to parliament. The AOW age is 67 through 2027 and rises to 67 years and three months from 2028; it will stay at that level in 2032.
