Pensions at a Glance 2017
OECD and G20 Indicators
The 2017 edition of Pensions at a Glance highlights the pension reforms undertaken by OECD countries over the last two years. Moreover, one special chapter focuses on flexible retirement options in OECD countries and discusses people’s preferences regarding flexible retirement, the actual use of these programs and the impact on benefit levels.
This edition also updates information on the key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for today’s workers. It offers indicators covering the design of pension systems, pension entitlements, the demographic and economic context in which pension systems operate, incomes and poverty of older people, the finances of retirement-income systems and private pensions.

Employment rates of older workers
The employment rate falls with age in all OECD countries. For individuals aged 55 to 59 years, the average employment rate across all OECD countries was 69.6% in 2016, 46.3% for the 60 to 64 age group and 20.9% for those aged 65 to 69. In twelve OECD countries the employment rates were above the OECD average for all age groups aged 55 and over; by contrast it was below average for all age groups in ten OECD countries. Employment rates of people aged 55 to 64 have improved since the start of the century in most OECD countries, from 44.0% in 2000 to 58.4% in 2016.
