What are the top countries in the world for retirement, and where does the United States place among them?
The Annual Global Retirement Index study by Natixis Investment Managers doesn’t even put the US in the top 10! Forty-four countries were evaluated in four key areas: material well-being, health, finances in retirement, and quality of life.
Here are the top 10 from top to bottom:
- Iceland
- Switzerland
- Norway
- Ireland
- The Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Australia
- Germany
- Denmark
- Canada
The aging population, high healthcare costs, and the impact of the pandemic have led to financial difficulties for some, which raises people’s concerns about retirement security.
Other countries have a bigger social safety net for their citizens, as reflected by the seven European countries in the top 10.
Council of Seniors Keeps Pushing for More Benefits
Strengthening Social Security benefits is what motivates Council of Seniors to push Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. This bill is designed to make up for the inadequate Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) over a series of years. If this bill is passed, seniors will be reimbursed $581.
