Spain: Voluntary early retirement age to rise to 65 in 2027, with 38.5-year contribution requirement

Spain's Social Security confirms that from 2027, voluntary early retirement will be allowed at 65 instead of the current earlier age, unless the worker has contributed 38 years and 6 months. This is a policy change affecting pension eligibility, likely part of broader pension reform. The exact impact on pension amounts and transition rules remains to be detailed.
