Jumătate dintre pensionarii români au sub 2.500 de lei pe lună. De ce continuă să muncească

In Romania, over 2.3 million pensioners receive less than 2,500 lei monthly, prompting many to continue working due to financial pressures. The average pension is 2,942 lei, but inflation at 6.61% erodes purchasing power. Many pensioners struggle to cover basic expenses, leading to concerns about retirement income adequacy. A study shows that 42% of employees over 55 are willing to work past retirement age, higher than the European average. Reasons for this include financial necessity and personal desires for more family time or health considerations. The situation highlights the need for better retirement planning and support for the elderly.
