The study assessed 55 retirement systems worldwide, evaluating pension adequacy, sustainability and integrity. Denmark and Iceland followed with scores of 84.1 and 84.0, while Singapore, Israel and Australia also received the highest A grade.

The annual index covers approximately 66% of the world’s population and uses more than 50 indicators to assess retirement systems.

Pension adequacy accounts for 40% of the evaluation, sustainability for 35% and integrity for 25%. The report recommends broader pension coverage, stronger funding and improved governance to help countries adapt to ageing populations and longer retirements.
