Wouldn’t it be nice if the retirement age wouldn’t exceed this age?
Imagine living in the Netherlands, having to work until 67, struggling with your health for 9 years.
Seems I can cancel Healthcare
What the hell is happening in britain and italy?
I want some of their secrets!
Latvia nr.1 HHUURRRAAAHH!!!1!!
Now isn’t this absolutely depressing given that the retirement age will probably be 70 by the time it’s my turn.
Well, I know why I want to work less hours in a few years. Financially, it’s not the wisest decision. But there is no way anyway I will get 3000โฌ per month for my retirement and that’s about the sum a retirement/nursing home costs monthly where I live. So if I have to work until 70 either way, I want to have more free time until then.
In Finland it’s the older generations and their alcohol use, in Denmark it’s all the generations alcohol use but Switzerland? Maybe they slip on lichens while hiking and fall off the cliff.
Soak. Has one of of the longest life expectancies but in the middle when it comes to healthy years.

Bulgaria, please explain your amazing performance! LE: Especially as you have a low life expectancy overall.
Why is Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ so low though?
…are …are my eyes deceiving me?
I don’t have an answer, but I have questions and did dig a little deeper. Like some others I guess. My understanding is that some of the countries with short quality of life, have rather high life expectancy in general. This would mean many years of poor health. While this is possible, I am unaware of the hellscape that is old age in those places, so I find it hard to rhyme.ย
Looking into the definition of data. The formula is based on life expectancy, and reported health. Reported based on the question : do you experience being limited by your health condition in normal everyday things in the last half a year.ย With three answer options.ย
Reported health is part of Dataset EU SILC (I have no access to the data itself)
Not sure that cultural norms and values can really explain difference in reported subject experience. Especially if I would let my own cultural assumptions let go on it.ย
The data triggert me to scratch a little on the surface, and if you really go deeper I’m sure it becomes way less interesting and nuanced, but I’m left with mostly doubts about the data. Not so much convinced that this is a good representation of reality.ย
What does “healthy” means here? I mean, if it means “years before the median population starts take medicines chronically” then we should look at what medicines are taken into consideration (cholesterol medicines, antidepressants, aspirin, blood thinners, anti-diabetic etc…), if it means “years before the median population start to feel themselves no more healthy” and so on… Also, it’s different if we take into account average Vs median. Data is interesting but it needs to be more specific.
Edit: grammar and syntax mistakes.
Unhappy Italians hoping to be over soon, but simply cannot.
So basically, work until you’re no longer healthy, up until you can claim your pension to pay for the medical needs. Great!
Romania why?
Finland, are you ok?

looking at the country markings, it is the most confusing and one of the most difficult charts to infer any meaning
Why the hell is Denmark doing so badly? Genuinely curious, Iโm from the uk and we generally regard Denmark as one of those places that has it all figured out.
Denmark mostly because of diet and alcohol i would guess.
BE be like:
Healthy life years = 63,7
Retirement age = 67
Hopefully someone will be hired to change my diaper during office hours and hopefully they won’t be beyond ‘healthy life years’, too.

At least the Danes are very happy.
