Few reforms are as contested as raising the retirement age. It is a key marker of when a society finds it normal to stop working and acceptable to draw a pension; it also signals when workers can expect to retire; and it is a threshold for many employers that indicates when their workers are expected to leave their company.

This chapter looks at pension reforms in OECD countries over the past two years (between September 2015 and September 2017). Most OECD countries have enacted pension reforms since the last publication of Pension at a Glance. However, the reforms have been fewer and less widespread than in previous years with one-fifth of OECD countries taking no policy action. Among the most common reforms are changes in benefits and contributions. In addition, retirement ages are being adjusted in the majority of OECD countries. However, some of these adjustments are a reversal of previously legislated retirement age increases.
