The term "normal retirement age" is somewhat misleading. It is not the age at which members normally retire. There are many pension plans where only a small percentage of the workforce will work up to the "normal" retirement age of 65. 4, record 1, English, - normal%20retirement%20age

L'expression «âge de la retraite normale» est quelque peu équivoque, car il ne s'agit pas de l'âge auquel les participants prennent normalement leur retraite. Pour de nombreux régimes, seule une faible proportion de la main-d'œuvre travaillera jusqu'à l'âge «normal» de 65 ans. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A2ge%20normal%20de%20retraite
