I mean it’s more relevant than your original point because I actually have sources to back my claims up.
And an 80 year old working to make ends meet is appalling and very rare here too, don’t think that we are okay with that. And I would imagine there are a few 80 year olds working in every country.
Sweden (I’m using them as an example) has a comparable employment rate at every age group than the US?
In the US about 41% of people 55 and older are working, compared to almost 38% in Sweden.
Edit: I did my math super wrong. Sweden doesn’t have “much more” people at that age working, they have slightly fewer.
But what’s the statistic for people aged 65 and above?
I’m not sure. The US only posts “55 and up”, I couldn’t find any more detailed info than that.
No offense, but then your first statement is a bit irrelevant, don’t you think?
Obviously people here will work past 55, as the retirement age in Europe is somewhere between 60 and 68, depending on the actual country.
Not saying seniors are living it large here, but I would be appalled to see an 80yo (have to) work as a delivery-person
