Most Poles plan to retire as soon as possible – study

According to the report published by the Warsaw School of Economics, 59.1 percent of Poles plan to retire as soon as they'll reach the retirement age, only 29.1 percent plan on working longer, while 11.1 percent will “actively seek retirement before reaching the necessary age, even if it will result in lower retirement,” the report said. The more people get older, the perspective of not working seems to get more attractive. Only 43 percent of respondents aged 50-64 plans to retire earlier, which is surprising because as many as 76 percent of the Poles think that their pensions will not be sufficient to live “comfortably.”
