The bar chart illustrates the age at which males and females across five nations retire, while the data in the table show the life span on average in each of these nations. Overall, a clear link can be drawn between the life expectancy and retirement age, meaning that in the countries where people live longer, they also work for longer. As for the gender, in some countries women retire earlier than men; however, in other countries both sexes begin to receive their pensions at the same time.
The three countries where, on average, people live untilthey are over 75 years old are: Japan with the highest life expectancy of 84. 3 years, the USA at 78. 4 years and Brazil at 75. 9 years. In those countries people retire either at the age of 65 (Japan and Brazil) or 66 (the USA), with the only exception being women in Brazil, whose retirement age is 62 years.
Meanwhile, in Russia and India, the life expectancy are lower at 72. 9 and 70. 8 years repectively. Although individuals in Russia live approximately two years longer than those in India, they retire earlier: at 61 years of age for men and just 56 for women. In India, both genders start receiving their pensions at age 63.
