Anyone born after 1 January 1948 will not receive a state pension until after his 65th birthday, rising from 66 in 2018 to 67 in 2021. Most educational workers are already retired at that age. In 2016, the average retirement age according to the ABP pension fund was 64,09 years. In 2010 this was 63,91. Just like the state pension age, the age at which educational workers retire on average is therefore steadily increasing. HBO employees are the last to retire, at an average age of 64,49. In primary education, people at the age of 63,66 are the fastest to exchange school for the hammock.
While education workers continue to work longer in the first place, they are also more likely to choose to continue working after retirement. In 2016, 3469 people did this. In 2007 there were 143. A sharp increase, which is particularly striking in primary and secondary education. In primary education, the number of continuing workers rose from 51 in 2007 to 1201 last year. In secondary education, that number rose from 44 to 1164.
