Only 15% of UK workers plan to work beyond the current state pension age of 65, according to research.
Half of workers (52%) plan to retire before the age of 65, the study by Aon Consulting showed, with the average planned retirement age falling just under 63 years for men and just over 62 for women.
Half of the 1,200 workers surveyed (51%) cited health issues and the ability to carry out the job as the main factor in determining their retirement age. Just over one-third (35%) said it would depend on how much they have in their pension fund, and almost one in five (19%) said their retirement age would be determined by their spouse or partner's retirement age.
Women were more likely to cite their partner’s pension as a deciding factor, with one-quarter (24%) saying their partner’s pensions plans would affect their retirement plans.
