18Population aging is evolving at different rates across countries and over time, and it
represents a long-term challenge for both the sustainability of pension schemes and for
the realization of public intergenerational transfers. In this context, this work focuses on
gender differences in survival at older ages. Specifically, we implement a comparative
analysis of OECD countries to assess the adequacy of the corresponding gender-specific
normal retirement age when faced with growing life expectancy. The analysis hinges on
several graphical representations and is motivated by recent findings on Italian longevity
to determine optimal retirement age shifts necessary to match growing life expectancy
at older ages while accounting for model risk for mortality projections. Our analysis deter-
mines—at the country level—the extent to which adjustments to the normal retirement
age are advisable for the sustainability of the intergenerational paradigm for pensions.
The study considers males and females separately because most of these countries are
characterized by aging societies where men and women have different crucial character-
istics, including life expectancy. It is therefore important that policymakers have informa-
tion on the future evolution of the longevity gender gap so they will be able to apply
policies that preserve the principles of equality and solidarity and reduce the pension
gender gap. We find groups of countries where gender gap in life expectancy follows the
same dynamics.
