Only 1 in 5 Portuguese people is planning for their retirement

SAPO15 September 2026 at 08:40

Only one in five Portuguese people is planning for their retirement, according to a new study developed by ConsumerChoice. This is presented as one of the main conclusions of the research on population aging in Portugal. The study analyzes the habits and behaviors of Portuguese people regarding retirement planning, revealing a low rate of preparation for this stage of life. ConsumerChoice is the organization responsible for conducting this study, which aims to better understand how Portuguese citizens prepare for the future.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers face a significant gap in retirement preparation, which may impact their future financial stability. This study comes in the context of growing population aging in Portugal, warning of the need for greater financial literacy and early planning. The information is particularly relevant for those approaching retirement age or for young people who still have time to prepare.

Mesmo que salário mínimo no Estado subisse para 1.030 euros em 2027 seria “curto”, afirma FesapPhoto by 19661338 on Pexels

Even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros in 2027 it would be "short", says Fesap

The Federation of Public Administration Trade Unions (Fesap) argues that the remuneration base in the public sector should increase beyond 1,030 euros in 2027, considering that this value would still be "short" given workers' needs. General secretary José Abraão argues that the pluriannual agreement in force, which provides for increases of 2.3% (rising from 934.99 to 995.51 euros), was signed in a different economic context and that inflation, potentially above 3%, is causing losses in purchasing power. Fesap will present its claims document for the 2027 State Budget at today's press conference in Lisbon, demanding increases beyond those provided for in the current agreement.
