WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The average age at which U.S. retirees say they actually retired is now at 61, up from 57 in the early 1990s. These results are from Gallup's annual Economy and Personal Finance survey, conducted April 4-14.
Full retirement age (also called normal retirement age) had been 65 for many years. However, beginning with people born in 1938 or later, that age gradually increases until it reaches 67 for people born after 1959. The 1983 Social Security Amendments included a provision for raising the full retirement age beginning with people born in 1938 or later. The Congress cited improvements in the health of older people and increases in average life expectancy as primary reasons for increasing the normal retirement age.
