The Global Retirement Index evaluates the retirement conditions of 43 countries worldwide using multi-dimensional performance indicators. It includes 18 performance indicators across four thematic categories: finances in retirement, material well-being, health, and quality of life. These indices are calculated based on reliable data from a range of international organizations and academic sources. It considers the specific characteristics of the elderly retiree population to assess and compare the level of retirement security in countries around the world.


As we can see from this year's rankings, 7 of the top 10 countries are in Europe. This demonstrates that the retirement mechanisms and welfare benefits of European countries are highly attractive to the global wealthy.


In the book "Shock of the Global Aging: When the World is Old and Poor," American author Ted Fishman tells us that in the future, humanity will face a "new white-haired world," whether in China, Japan, the United States, or Spain; none will be an exception.




It is estimated that by 2030, the population aged 65 and over will reach 1 billion. For the first time in human history, the number of people over 50 will exceed the number of people under 17. Currently, the world's median age is approximately 29, meaning half the population is older than 29 and half is younger, but this figure continues to rise. In some East Asian countries, this median age has even reached 50.


Faced with such trends, many wealthy individuals have already begun to "plan ahead" for their retirement, and those European countries with high retirement indices have naturally become the targets of their pursuit.
