Monaco is the country with the highest median age in the world. The population has a median age of around 57 years, which is around six years more than in Japan and Saint Pierre and Miquelon – the other countries that make up the top three. Southern European countries make up a large part of the top 20, with Italy, Slovenia, Greece, San Marino, Andorra, and Croatia all making the list. Low infant mortality means higher life expectancy Monaco and Japan also have the lowest infant mortality rates in the world, which contributes to the calculation of a higher life expectancy because fewer people are dying in the first years of life. Indeed, many of the nations with a high median age also feature on the list of countries with the highest average life expectancy, such as San Marino, Japan, Italy, and Lichtenstein. Demographics of islands and small countries Many smaller countries and island nations have populations with a high median age, such as Guernsey and the Isle of Man, which are both island territories within the British Isles. An explanation for this could be that younger people leave to seek work or education opportunities, while others choose to relocate there for retirement.

Monaco had the highest life expectancy among both men and women worldwide as of 2024. That year, life expectancy for men and women was ** and ** years, respectively. The East Asian countries and regions, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Macao, followed. Many of the countries on the list are struggling with aging populations and a declining workforce as more people enter retirement age compared to people entering employment.

The dependency ratio is a measure of the proportion of a country's population who are either below the age of being able to take up full-time employment or past the retirement age. A higher dependency ratio generally means that a country must fund a higher amount of public services used by dependents from a smaller tax base of full-time earners. On the other hand, having a high young person dependency ratio is markedly different from countries with an older population, as the money invested in younger people today will result in more full-time earners in the future. Countries with a very high old-age dependency ratios may struggle to fund their pension systems, as there are many people withdrawing with fewer people paying into the system. Except for Serbia, all EU candidate countries had smaller dependency ratios than the European Union average. In particular, Turkey has a much lower total dependency ratio than the EU, with 2.17 working age individuals per every dependent person, compared to 1.75 working age people in the EU. Considering the old-age dependency ratio, the difference expands further. In 2024, there were 6.6 citizens in working age for every person aged 65 and older, while the EU had around three workers for every European aged 65 and older. The EU's high old-age dependency ratio is often considered a key economic weakness of the bloc, as countries such as Italy and Germany have elderly and declining populations, leading them to have skills shortages. The youthful age profile of these candidate countries could therefore benefit the European Union, as it would provide it with a larger pool of young workers. On the other hand, countries which are particularly wary of allowing countries into the Union that may increase immigration within the bloc may look at this negatively, such as Austria and the Netherlands.

As of January 1, 2025, retirees in Russia received a gross pension of approximately ******** Russian rubles on average, or ****U.S. dollars per month at the exchange rate as of May 16, 2025.

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the impacts of population aging on pay-as-you-go pension schemes in three countries: Brazil, Spain and France. Benefits and contributions are calculated based on current rules and population projections by sex and age group, up until 2100. From 2016 to 2100, the number of old-age benefits in the three countries is expected to increase by 235%, 54% and 73%. By 2050, ceteris paribus, the Brazilian deficit will amount to USD 188 billion, reaching USD 260 billion in 2100. For France and Spain figures will be USD 134 billion and USD 92 billion. In 2100, the Spanish per capita deficit will be the highest: USD 7,200, against USD 5,400 (France) and USD 3300 (Brazil). Two additional exercises are included. The first is the calculation of the Necessary Contribution Rate. By 2016 Brazil’s rate should already be at 40%. For the other countries, the rates should be 23% (France) and 32% (Spain). In 2050, unless some action is taken, the Brazilian rate will surpass an absurd 100%, and by 2100, an unreal 160%. The second exercise was the calculation of the Average Balance Benefit. For Spain, there would be a reduction of USD 884 per month to USD 372 by 2050. For Brazil, the current balance benefit of USD 248 would be reduced, by 2050, to USD 98. Reduction in Brazil (60%) is almost the same as in Spain (58%). The results provide evidence of the need for pension reforms due to aging.
