Executives concerned about the postponement of the legal retirement age
64 years old, 65 years old… for the time being, nothing has obviously been decided on the new legal retirement age. Consultations between the social partners and the government have only just begun. So like other employees, executives doubt. 61% worry about having to work longer. And, according to an Apec* study, concern obviously does not wait for the age of years. On the contrary.
- 61% of executives under 35 are worried about this postponement
- 66% of 35-44 year olds
- 65% of 45-54 year olds
- 48% of those aged 55 and over

Executives close to retirement don’t know when they’ll leave or how much they’ll get
According to the Apec study, barely half of executives (56%) aged 45 and over claim to have a precise idea of their retirement date. Worse, two-thirds have no idea of the amount of their future pension. Difficult indeed to see clearly when the rules of calculation only change reform after reform.

Executives plan to continue working even after retirement
With very little visibility on their retirement date and the amount of their future pension, executives seem to be anticipating the worst. Namely, a purchasing power (again him) degraded. In any case insufficient for their new life as retirees. So, nearly one in two managers (aged 45 and over) plans to combine partial professional activity with their retirement pension.
Among these cumulators, we obviously also find workaholics, those who do not see themselves stopping working at all.
Finally, the Apec study points out that just over a third of executives think of volunteering in connection with their former job. All in all, a soft landing.
