As many as 47 percent of Poles believe that the retirement age should be lowered, while 20 percent of respondents support its increase, according to a survey published on Saturday by the Interia portal.
In a survey conducted by the Smartscope research agency on behalf of Interia, respondents were asked whether the retirement age should be lowered, and equalized for women and men and whether it should be raised. Currently, the retirement age is 60 for women and 65 for men.
The survey for Interia shows that support for lowering the retirement age is related, among other things, to age. The people in favor of retiring earlier are young and middle-aged individuals, in the age groups of 25-34 years old and 35-44 years old.
