About the Global Retirement Index

The Global Retirement Index is intended to be a comparison tool that provides a global benchmark to evaluate and compare the suitability of countries in meeting the needs and expectations of retirees worldwide.

To provide a clear view into retirement security in each country, the Index considers four main factors:

• Material Wellbeing: examines retirees’ ability to live comfortably in retirement

• Health: evaluates retiree access to quality health services

• Finances in Retirement: considers access to quality financial services and the ability to preserve savings

• Quality of Life: focuses on whether a country can provide a clean, safe environment in which to live.

Individual rankings are determined by a country’s scores across all four factors.

So... are The Global Retirement Index motives completely altruistic?
Oh, wait, they're a statistical analysis entity! Clearly looking to make Canada look better.

It's all a Swiss conspiracy!

It sounds so incredibly idiotic when it's questioned that way doesn't it?

Of course it's a good list and the only bump the US has seen is due to the Obamacare, go figure.

Health and Welfare, in Canada, are under provincial / territorial jurisdiction.
That means that we literally have 13 different systems (10 provinces, 3 territories)
Add two more to that, because the Federal Government's responsibility is to provide
for the Aboriginal and Veteran population, for a grand total of 15 different systems.

Yes... there are basic expectations for all systems (accessibility, hospital services, etc);
but, the actual day-to-day operations are the responsibility of respective systems.

No... it doesn't sound efficient; but, each province/territory can focus on the particular
needs/expectations of residents/taxpayers.

exactly, why should a lack of information prevent one from voicing their opinion?!

thankfully it is actually Natixis which is funded by a private PE group

When RC talks about looking out for yourself and planning ahead she's generally referring to planning her next holiday get away. Skiing in France and riding camels in the Canary islands is exhausting.

Safety net for those who can't, or won't, or don't of course.....but if you want a bit above the basic, you need go plan for it.
