Overview
- - The European Commission warns that population aging will lift spending on pensions, health care and long‑term care, tightening the squeeze on public finances.
- - In Spain, fresh forecasts point to a legal retirement age near 66 years and 10 months, and economist Luis Garvía says balancing the system would push retirements closer to 72.
- - Argentina’s statistics agency reports that people over 60 now make up 16% of the population and could reach 26% by 2050, signaling heavier pension costs ahead.
- - After broad moratoria were curtailed in Argentina, active workers can pre‑buy missing contribution months under Law 27.705, priced at ARS 37,142.52 per month in May 2026 through the UPDP.
- - People who reach retirement age without 30 years of contributions are steered to PUAM, which pays 80% of the minimum pension and ends when the holder dies, leaving spouses without a survivor benefit.
