What is the retirement age in Japanese companies?
In 1985, 60 was the retirement age in over half of the companies, and to accelerate this trend the government introduced the Retirement-at-sixty Law in 1986.
Most companies therefore have moved to a system of retirement at 60.
In the past, the age for receiving an old-age pension was 60, but this is being increased in stages to 65.
And now there are growing calls to raise the retirement age to 62 or 65.
Even if the retirement age is not increased, most people want Japanese society to allow workers to continue working until 65.
