PARIS, 01 Dec. - (ANA) - Fast ageing populations will continue to raise pressure on pension systems.

 

Population ageing due to lower birth rates and longer life expectancies will continue to raise fiscal pressures on pension systems at a time of high public debt and competing spending needs. 

 

OECD Pensions at a Glance 2025 shows that populations across the OECD will age fast over the next 25 years: there will be 52 people aged 65+ for every 100 people aged 20-64 by 2050, up from 33 in 2025 and only 22 in 2000.

 

This edition includes a focus on the gender pension gap. Women receive monthly pensions that are about one-quarter lower than men’s on average across OECD countries, despite the gap declining from 28% in 2007 to 23% in 2024.   - (ANA) -
