Spaniards face up to having to work for longer

  • 14 years ago
REPORT - Spain might be dealing with a 20% unemployment rate, but those who do have a job may have to face up to working for longer. The Spanish government wants to raise the country's official retirement age from 65 to 67, saying the move is needed to cope with Spain's rapidly ageing population. The change will be phased in gradually from 2013 but workers' unions have vowed to fight it.
