Talk:Retirement

message: I think this article would be helped  by a discussion on the history of retirement.  Where & When did the modern notion of 'retirement' begin? How did it evolve into what we think about retirement today?  It certainly wasn't earlier than the 1900s, was it?   I think that this article would become more relavant and encycopedic with these addition. Falztobias (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Is that the average life expectancy at birth, or the average life expectancy of a worker?
The life expectancy at birth is meaningless in a discussion of retirement policy, because only the life expectancy of those people who survive to adulthood needs to be considered when designing an old-age pension system.
Considering how low the figures are (age 40 in 1880s Germany), I have a feeling that they represent life expectancy at birth. — Malik Shabazz  17:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

message: This really ought to be fixed by an expert, but for the moment: the assumption that neither savings during working life nor the unspent portion of savings during retirement earn interest above inflation is unrealistic. Scorwin (talk) 04:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: No.  I removed it from the "Old Age" article for the same reasons.  It simply shows the relative population over 65 of each nation relative to each other, not the elderly population relative to each nation's population.  Therefore, it simply tracks population size.  Otherwise, nations like Japan would have larger bubbles.  I'm removing.  --Bridgecross (talk) 17:35, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

message: "Retired" (which redirects to this article) is a qualifier that is oftentimes used after a person from the military (officers, etc). My knowledge of military ranks, procedures, etc is limited and would just suggest that maybe a few sentences on military retirement be added to the article to cover that area, as the current content is vey limited and unsourced.
