At the time of making this video, France is in the process of increasing its official retirement age from 62 years to 64. This change has led to widespread and oftentimes violent civil unrest across France. While all of this is going on, Lithuania’s own retirement age is raised by a few months every year - with the retirement age in 2023 being 64 and a half years. By 2026, the retirement age will be set at 65. So let’s take a look at this interesting part of Lithuanian government policy, why it exists, and what it means for those who choose to spend their senior years in the country. ------- This video is sponsored by @Lithuanian_with_marta!
