As the expected life expectancy increases and the infant tide generation reaches retirement age, the Swiss pension insurance system is facing tremendous pressure.

Although the age group of 65 to 69 has exceeded the current retirement age, the employment rate has almost doubled, from 9%in 2010 to 17%in 2020.
