For the first time in ten years, the average retirement age has not increased. Last year the average age was 64 years and 5 months, just like in 2015.

Earlier this century, the average retirement age was much lower at 61 years. Through several new laws and regulations, the retirement age rose steadily and the most was in 2007. The systematic increase in the retirement age has played a major role, writes CBS. This was introduced from January 1, 2013.

Fisheries and Agriculture Retire as the Last

In 2006 the largest number of employees that retired were 60 years old (over 20,000). As of 2011, the largest group consists of 65-year-olds. That group grew to 31,000 in 2016. The number of 66-year-olds, which has grown has become more common since 2014, is now the second largest group.

Last year, employees in public administration, government, education and care, on average, had the earliest retirement age: 63 years and 7 months. In agriculture and fisheries, on the other hand, was the latest retirement, at the average age of 67 years.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
