This statistic shows the readiness of Europeans for having to retire earlier than expected in selected countries as of 2018. The majority of respondents in every country presented stated that they did not have a backup plan that would secure them with income in case of having to leave work before they have planned. The share of those individuals ranged from 72 percent in the Netherlands and Hungary to 60 percent in Poland. German population readiness for an early retirement was the highest, with 27 percent of the respondents claiming to have a Plan B in the case of having to stop work before reaching their planned retirement.
