Hello.
So here is a link to the retirement ages for men and women in European countries, not just EU countries. But lets talk about EU countries.
Norway, Iceland and Greece (surprisingly) have the highest retirement ages for men and women at 67. followed by Italy at 66. But the average life expectancy for all these 3 countries but the life expectancy is usually around 80.
Under me there will be links to 2 sites, one wiki for retirement ages and one ONG worldwide healthcare watch with data from numerous nations. My question is, what do you think the algorithm between retirement age and life expectancy should be? and what factors should come in? Lets take norway as one example. We can see that in Norway, people are expected to live without disabilities due to old age until 72. Yet they retire at 67 and the life expectancy is 81.
I would think the best algorithm should be this:
(avg life expectancy+ (avg no disability age-10%avg no disability age))/2 = retirement age.
Given the example of norway.
You have: 81+(72-10/100*72)= 72.5

I put this in Europe subforum because initially I was considering talking about the UK, since it has massive debt issues and some time ago it has considered raising the retirement age because of the huge social security burden. But all are free to pitch in.
ofc, there should exemptions for people who work in perilous enviroments like mining and such. This retirement age alogorithm is mostly an idea of how the majority of the population should retire. People are living longer in the civilized world and have better healthcare standards. if we couple this with physical fitness, our life expectancy, free of disabilities and such, is pretty high.
