January 21, 2020 Increasing life expectancies and falling fertility rates have led to aging populations becoming a reality in many countries across the globe. Korea’s old-age population (65+) is expected to outweigh the younger generation between 10 and 25 years of age by 2021. Changing demographic profiles are putting pressure on existing pension systems around the world. For example, Korea, one of the world’s fastest-aging countries, ranks among the countries with the highest relative poverty rate among the elderly while it shows one of the highest proportion of people (63%) who wish to continue working after reaching normal retirement age. In an in-depth study, the Credit Suisse Research Institute (CSRI) is calling for an urgent rethink on retirement provisions in the face of aging societies. |
