Quick Glance: The Illusion of the Optimal Retirement Age
  • During the Great Depression, the retirement age was set at 65, despite lower life expectancies at the time.

  • Due to increased life expectancy and a growing retiree population, the social security system is facing financial challenges.

  • The debate around raising the retirement age is controversial, considering the impact on the health and social status of older workers.

  • The discussion on the ideal retirement age also addresses social inequalities, health factors, and the diversity of individual working conditions.
