Almost two-thirds of the Swiss population would like more freedom to choose their retirement age, according to a survey by Deloitte Switzerland. A large majority of those polled also expressed reservations about the pension system reforms proposed to date.\n<\/p>\n

In a press release issued on Tuesday, the audit and consultancy firm stated that 68% of those surveyed would prefer to decide their own retirement age rather than be subject to a 65-year limit.<\/p>\n

The study therefore proposes greater flexibility in the retirement age. In future, everyone should be able to decide for themselves when they want to retire.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, there is little support for reforms to the pension system that would increase the financial burden on employees. An increase in employee contributions was rejected by a relative majority of 49% of respondents.<\/p>\n

The Deloitte study is based on a variety of data and on an online survey of 1,000 people throughout Switzerland.<\/p>\n
