The age at which women and men can retire with full pension benefits is the same (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator assesses the equality of the statutory retirement age for men and women, determining whether both genders are eligible to receive full pension benefits at the same age. It highlights the socio-economic dynamics of a region by reflecting on legislative commitments to gender equality in retirement policies. The indicator is particularly significant as it captures not only the legal framework in place but also societal attitudes towards retirement age, which can influence workforce participation and financial preparedness for old age. If there are ongoing reforms aimed at equalizing retirement ages, this indicator provides current data based on the latest report, even if gradual changes are anticipated in future legislation.
