Retirement Age in Malta
Retirement from the workforce and pensions are hot topics globally at the moment – not just in Malta, but changes to the state retirement age are afoot on this small Mediterranean Island. It’s a matter of personal choice and circumstances that affect an individual’s retirement age, but the earlier you retire, the more funds you will need as the money will need to last longer. The State Pension age in Malta is currently 61 for men and 60 for women. Due to an ageing population and an increase in life expectancy combined with a falling birthrate over recent years, the retirement age is set to increase to 65 in the future, for both males and females.
The Eurovision Song Contest this year will be hald in Dusseldorf, Germany from May 10th to 14th, and there will be 43 countries taking part. Last year’s winner was Lena Meyer-Landrut singing “Sattelite”; Malta’s entrant in 2010, Thea Garrett, unfortunately wasn’t selected to go through to the final.
Getting away from it all is quite difficult on a small island the size of Malta, boasting one of the highest population densities in the world. With a Mediterranean climate, outdoor activities are enjoyed by many – locals and tourists alike. Getting off the beaten track is possible in Malta, and camping in the wild is one way to do it.
