Abstract
To extend working lives, the 2017 Finnish pension reform introduced a gradually rising statutory retirement age, from 63 to 65 years and over. We investigate how the intended retirement age has adjusted after the reform. Survey data from 2008 (N = 1,346) and 2018 (N = 1,386) include employees aged 50-62. The results indicate that, unlike in many countries, in Finland the intended retirement age has increased in tandem with the statutory retirement age. One explanation for this might be knowledge: due to the extensive information campaign, the Finns know about the reform and can make realistic retirement plans.

The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim.
The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
