• About 500,000 baby boomers still in the workforce say they would keep working beyond 67, with men making up the large majority.
• Roughly three in ten current retirees would return to work by combining part of their pension with part‑time earnings.
• Nearly nine in ten employed respondents oppose lifting the statutory retirement age to 70.
• Public understanding is thin, with only about one in eight adults both knowing how pensions are financed and reasonably estimating the average benefit.
• Talks with unions and employers are exploring “mini jobs” and reversible retirement rules, while delayed‑retirement take‑up has grown to 11.4% of new pensions and the effective retirement age has risen to 65.3 years.
