The Global Retirement Index: Today's Best Countries for Retirement

(December 2022) You sometimes hear, “Oh, to be young,” and there is merit to that sentiment depending on where you live out your retirement years. Retirement security is not an issue weighing on individuals alone. It is among the top social issues globally because of a simple fact: the world’s population is getting older. According to the World Bank, the share of people aged 65 and older will double by 2050 to reach 1.6 billion. Societies must grapple with how to ensure people have the resources and services to support themselves through retirement. The Natixis Global Retirement Index (GRI) evaluates 18 performance indicators to provide an in-depth look at four aspects of standard of living in retirement, namely: the material well-being or comfort of living, access to quality health services, access to quality financial services, and a clean and safe living environment. This index is calculated based on data for 44 countries: IMF advanced economies, members of the OECD, and the BRIC countries.According to Natixis’ Index, the top 3 countries by retirement security attractiveness of 2022 are Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland, unchanged from the previous year. Norway won the top in spot because of its high performance in all sub-indices. Norway’s lowest sub-index score was in finance with a score of 69% on a scale from 0-100%, where 100% represents the most favorable environment to retirement security.Ireland, Australia, and Luxembourg have high index scores despite relatively lower positions in finance because of strong performance in healthcare and quality of life dimensions.The BRIC countries scored poorly on the GRI. BRIC countries were the lowest scoring among ranked countries on governance, one of the most important indicators in the finance sub-index calculation.

US Population by Age and Generation in 2020 //knoema.es/egyydzc/us-population-by-age-and-generation-in-2020 2020-04-16T08:30:06Z Alex Kulikov knoema.es://knoema.es/user/1847910
US Population by Age and Generation in 2020

Gen-Z has overtaken Millennials by nearly 4 million to become the largest generation in the United States. Baby Boomers are the third-largest generation with the population of 69 million persons in 2020. With a current population of around 86 million, the Gen-Z generation is expected to grow to 88 million over the next 20 years because of migration, according to the United Nations' latest World Population Prospects. The boundaries that define generations are not universally agreed, and yet these boundaries carry important implications in business and government. The size, financial security, and general health of each generation shapes everything from marketing campaigns to insurance and social welfare benefits to transportation and health services planning. According to the Pew Research Center, the oldest Millenial was born in 1981 while the youngest was born in 1997.Synchrony Financial uses much lower boundaries, defining the Millenial generation as those born from 1976 through 1992.Considering still other definitions, the birth year of the oldest Millenial varies from 1976 to 1986 while the birth year of the youngest ranges from 1993 to 2010.

The Material Wellbeing in Retirement Index

 Material Wellbeing index is calculated based on income per capita, unemployment rate, and income equality. Last year, Qatar took 1st place by GDP per capita. Norway was the only 9th, but it has one of the highest Material Wellbeing index scores.   Home | The Health in Retirement Index | Finances in Retirement Index | Quality of Life Index | The Material Well-being

The Health in Retirement Index

These indicators are important determinants of physical wellness and therefore retiree welfare. The Health index is calculated as the geometric mean of three indicators: life expectancy, health expenditure per capita, non-insured health expenditure. For last 5 years, China is keeping leading position by life expectancy.     Home | The Health in Retirement Index | Finances in Retirement Index | Quality of Life Index | The Material Well-being

Shrinking Populations: A Challenge for Pension Systems //knoema.es/nalept/shrinking-populations-a-challenge-for-pension-systems 2019-08-02T14:41:37Z Alex Kulikov knoema.es://knoema.es/user/1847910
Shrinking Populations: A Challenge for Pension Systems

Just as governments struggle to simultaneously address obesity and hunger, the world’s population continues to grow ... and shrink. The United Nations estimates that between 2015 and 2050 49 countries will experience population declines even as the total world population reaches 9.77 billion. Moreover, in all but two countries the ratio of old population to working-age population will increase by 2050, and an estimated 135 countries will experience fertility rates below replacement rates. While demographic changes usher in consequences for businesses and governments alike, in today’s Viz of the Day we explore the implications for government-supported pension programs and related policies. The ratio of retired persons to labor force determines the pressure on pension funds and government budgets. If the contributions to pension funds collected from employees are insufficient to pay benefits to the retired, the pension fund goes into deficit, a deficit generally financed by the government.   A prime example of government efforts to address shortfalls in pension financing is unfolding now in Russia. On June 14, Moscow proposed gradually increasing the official retirement age from 55 to 63 for women by 2034 and from 60 to 65 for men by 2028, adding approximately 10 million workers to the pension contribution base. The draft plan has already been introduced for consideration by the State Duma and the first reading is planned for July.According to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the reform is necessary because the increasing ratio of retired persons to the working population risks an imbalance of the national retirement system that will lead to a failure of the system to perform its social function. To Medvedev's point, by 2050, the number of people aged 65+ per 100 working-aged persons will double. In addition, worker contributions to Russia's pension fund are already insufficient; 38 percent of Russian pension benefits—about 3 percent of GDP—is financed currently by the government.  While in the long run, increasing the size of the labor force by adjusting the official retirement age may stabilize pension benefits and even contribute to Russian economic growth, the Russian public is skeptical and protests have broken out around the country. Approximately 50 applications for public protests were submitted in different regions of Russia in the days after the planned reforms were made public, with one taking place as recently as June 25 in Irkutsk, according to Vedomosti.Oppositionist Alexey Navalny announced on June 19 plans for a 20-city protest on July 1, including the capital cities of several regions of Russia—which are also among the 20 most populated Russian cities—such as: Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, and Izhevsk. No protests are scheduled for cities hosting FIFA World Cup events.According to Vedomosti and Kommersant, the government may ease the reform's parameters to dampen protests.

How Well is the Aging Population Faring?

HelpAge International has created the Global AgeWatch index to give voice to older people in defining the post-2015 UN sustainable development goals. This index assesses 96 countries worldwide on how well they provider their aging populations with decent, active, and healthy lives and enable policymakers to make the necessary steps to improve the well-being of older people. The welfare of older people globally is important not only because of the expected growth of this age group in the decades to come but because people do not stop developing when they reach ago 60. Older population have the same rights as younger people to live in environments that foster this development.

Median Age of Population: Ranking by Countries

Japan is the top country by median age of the total population in the world. As of 2015, the median age of Japan's population was 46.35 years. The top 5 countries also include Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Bulgaria. The median age of the population in Japan increased from 28.78 years in 1970 to 46.35 years in 2015 growing at an average annual rate of 5.45 %. The median age of the population is an age that divides the population in two parts of equal size, that is, there are as many persons with ages above the median as there are with ages below the median. It is expressed as years.

Aging Society as an Agent of Economic Change in India

People are living longer and, in some parts of the world, healthier lives. This represents one of the crowning achievements of the last century but also a significant challenge. Longer lives must be planned for. Societal aging may affect economic growth and many other issues, including the sustainability of families, the ability of states and communities to provide resources for older citizens, and international relations. Preparing financially for longer lives and finding ways to reduce aging-related disability should become national and global priorities. Experience shows that for nations, as for individuals, it is critical to address problems sooner rather than later. Waiting significantly increases the costs and difficulties of addressing these challenges. To ensure older people's voices are among those making a contribution to defining the post-2015 sustainable development strategic goals Help Age International created the Global Age Watch Index. This index assesses 96 countries worldwide on how good they handle their aging populations to provide them with decent, active and healthy lives and enables policymakers to make necessary steps to improve the well-being of older people. This issue is of high importance because people do not stop developing when they reach the age of sixty and, thereby, have the same need and right to live in an environment that fosters their development just as it does the development of young people. This growing population will increase the need for sustainable, thoughtful delivery of services that match their evolving needs.   Excerpts from the US National Institute of Health publication, Why Population Aging Matters: A Global Perspective.
