Many plan to keep working beyond retirement age

A survey revealed that the majority of respondents said the decision to retire is often not entirely theirs.

Working after retirement age is part of the plan for over half of those who have reached the so-called ‘autumn years’.

According to a recent survey by the Retirement Planning Council of Ireland, 55% aim to continue working after they retire from full-time employment. The survey was carried out exclusively amongst over-50’s, with 93% indicating they would continue working part-time after retirement, while 6% said they intend to work full-time.
