This statistic shows the readiness of Europeans for having to retire earlier than expected in selected countries as of 2020. 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 50 percent in Turkey to 70 percent in France, and the Netherlands. United Kingdom's population readiness for an early retirement was the second highest, with 30 percent of the respondents claiming to have a Plan B in the case of having to stop work before reaching their planned retirement.
