This comprehensive examination of pension systems in OECD and selected non-OECD countries looks at recent trends in retirement and working at older ages, evolving life expectancy, design of pension systems, pension entitlements, and private pensions before providing a series of detailed country profiles.
Life expectancy
The remarkable increase in life expectancy is one of the greatest achievements of the last century. Lives continue to get longer, and this trend is predicted to continue. In 2010-15, life expectancy at birth averaged 77.2 years for men and 82.7 years for women. Among women, the figure was highest in Japan (86.9 years), followed by Spain, France, Italy and Switzerland. For men, life expectancy at birth was highest in Iceland (80.2 years) followed by Australia, Switzerland, Japan and Israel.
