The AOW retirement age in the Netherlands will remain at 67 years and three months through 2030, as confirmed by Minister Van Hijum to the Tweede Kamer. Despite projections from the CBS indicating a potential decrease in the retirement age to 67, legislation prevents fluctuations in the AOW age, ensuring stability. While life expectancy continues to rise, the rate of increase is slower than previously anticipated post-COVID-19. Minister Van Hijum indicated that any long-term changes to the retirement age framework would depend on future trends in life expectancy.
