To what extent can partial retirement ensure retirement income adequacy?

Partial retirement before the state pension age allows people to reduce workload and maintain an adequate pension income at the same time.

They are also much more likely to maintain an adequate pension income when pension funds do not index pension rights, or when pension income is smaller due to accruing pension rights for fewer years.
