Women live longer than men so logically shouldn't they have to work longer to support themselves longer in retirement?

tenchineuro · 2020-12-31T15:00:11+00:00

Then by UN standards, men and women are equal in this regard.

Men Live 79% as Many Years in Retirement as Women

The average man lives significantly fewer years in retirement than the average woman. This happens because men have a lower life expectancy than women in practically every country in the world, and because the age of retirement is higher for men than women in some countries (counter-intuitively, given the life expectancy gap).

The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), a group made up of 35 mostly highly-developed market economies (pictured below), keeps data on this. The OECD average in 2014 was 17.6 years of retirement for men and 22.3 years of retirement for women, giving the 79% figure in the title.

Men also die at a younger age, its a fucking double whammy.

SSFW3925 · 2020-12-31T14:40:36+00:00

Oppressed women are sacred and oppressive men are expendable. Makes perfect sense.

If only we had some effort out there to ensure genders were treated equally.

KingKookus · 2020-12-31T18:11:44+00:00

So identify as a woman and retire early.

2020-12-31T19:15:36+00:00

Men usually die younger too. And work more difficult jobs like construction, garbage collector, etc.

So yeah, we deserve higher pay.

TAPriceCTR · 2020-12-31T18:34:59+00:00

Hmm, I wonder I'd that might have something to sho with why men earn more money? NAH, it has to be mysoggyknee.

Laszu · 2020-12-31T19:51:10+00:00

In my country retirement used to be different for various professions, people like miners, war veterans etc. retired well before age of 50, women were rewarded for birthing lot of kids and the latest age for anyone was 55. Today no one, no matter what they did in life, can retire before 65 years without having their pension reduced and the government wants to raise it even more. Someone my age will quite possibly never retire before dying, fml.

The "patriarchy" and "male privilege" in full effect

AreYou4RealM8 · 2020-12-31T14:27:50+00:00

Eventually, women will start earning more than men. When they finally accomplish this, men will be able to retire earlier since they are the lower paid members of society. Once we get to this point, men will live in luxury as women have for so long.

At least the tides are turning here and soon enough men will get some of that female privilege.

TC1851 · 2020-12-31T21:45:15+00:00

Now listen here you mysoginsitic incel. Women get paid 30% less for the same work and have to do so much unpaid emotional labour when it comes to raising kids. And we have to deal with you mysoginstis. Besides, working is harder on Women due to workplaces being rooted in toxic patriarchal norms such as A/Cs designed for your suits over my miniskirts and tanktops. So why don't you shut up and #CheckYourPrivilege

whateverBRIAN · 2020-12-31T20:36:07+00:00

Wasn't it only until recently that in the US and some other countries (which ones?) the retirement age was gendered and men retired later?

2020-12-31T20:05:42+00:00

Women: we have to give birth, women have it so much harder than men.

men have died working in mines, saving people from criminals via police departments, saving people from burning buildings via the fire department, construction working, etc

Also women: we can do everything a man can.

refuses to fix their own problems and blames men for not doing it for them

These obviously aren't 100%, but it's pretty close

What is the exact reason behind women having a shorter retirement

940387 · 2020-12-31T19:54:36+00:00

This is one of the things where I support everyone getting an official sex change at women's retirement age. Then they'll realize it's BS.

RopyRaj · 2020-12-31T20:50:31+00:00

Who is responsible for this though? Seems like it must be other men!

2021-01-01T02:48:25+00:00

Cool so men can make even MORE money...

So much for "we live in a patriarchy".

Feminists are trash.

2021-01-01T00:04:54+00:00

Glad to see some countries are reforming it to be equal.

But there’s no possible justification for this to begin with.

FractalGarlicClove · 2021-01-01T01:43:39+00:00

So who has the higher retirement age in all the other countries. If men are higher then woman in 35 countries and woman higher then men in 0. What has the highest retirement age in the other 158 countries?

GyratingPollygong · 2021-01-01T09:03:17+00:00

You don't understand. It's the patriarchy that forces women to retire sooner, because men think women are weak and can't manage to work as late into their lives!

I'm sure it would be justified similarly to that.

antifeminist3 · 2021-01-05T01:27:41+00:00

Even in countries with government funded pensions plans with equal retirement ages, the fact that women live longer means that men disproportionately fund women's retirement at the men's expense.

example- Canada Pension Plan (CPP)

The CPP also gives women maternal 'benefits' indirectly by counting time off work as if she was working. So men fund that as well. parental leave is equally counted.

Sbatio · 2021-01-01T04:16:57+00:00

I’m all for men’s rights but how many men have babies? None.

How many women have them? 30%

Put that in the math and the labor is fairly even.

thetacobitch · 2021-01-01T05:43:31+00:00

Um okay the average for men is 65 and for women it’s 63. Why are you guys acting like that’s even that significant?😅 are y’all good? There’s also so many things that could even go into explaining those two year differences. Like the fact that men are more often hold executive positions (and similar) and You guys will actually find ANYTHING to make yourselves feel justified in your sexism hahaha. Also, in tons of other countries, ONLY MEN ARE ALLOWED TO WORK. Yet you’re going to sit here and say “zErO oThEr CoUnTrIeS”. Please. The blissful ignorance is wild here. Lol this is so gross😂
