Research reveals that retirement age of Flemish blue and white collar workers had increased to 59.6 years, coming from 58.3 years on average.
Research conducted by an office specialised in employment and the social Economy, the 'Leuvense Steunpunt Werk en Sociale Economie', reveals that the retirement age of Flemish blue and white collar workers had increased to 59.6 years, coming from 58.3 years on average. The chapter on a-typical work concludes that several forms of a-typical work have not expanded in a similar way as in some other EU countries. In general employment growth ended at the start of the crisis; however, the labour market participation stays at a level far beyond the EU-15 average.
