The mandatory retirement age for women and men is the same (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator evaluates the equality of mandatory retirement ages for both men and women, reflecting broader societal values regarding gender equality in the workplace. A value of 1 indicates that both genders are required to retire at the same age, signaling progress toward equal treatment and opportunities within employment policies. Conversely, a value of 0 highlights disparities that may exist, potentially perpetuating ageism or gender-based discrimination. By examining this aspect, we gain insights into how labor laws and corporate practices influence workforce demographics and employee retention strategies. This measure can also serve as a barometer for cultural attitudes towards aging and gender, underscoring the importance of equitable policies in fostering inclusive work environments. Source:
