There seems to be a gap between the retirement age prescribed by the public and the actual retirement age in various countries around the world including Japan, and in one country, 65 years old is set as retirement age, but in fact There are also cases such as retiring to 73 years old.

Looking at the descending order of actual retirement age, Mexico was 73 years old at the top, Korea at 2nd place was 71.2 years old, and there was a difference of 11.2 years between facing retirement age.
