2025 Global Retirement Index
By Dave Goodsell
Norway has regained the top position in the 2025 Natixis Global Retirement Index, driven by its strong performance in health outcomes, low unemployment and high-income equality. Ireland surges to second place, thanks to improvements in inflation and an economic environment that supports retirement security.
Since its launch in 2012, the Natixis Global Retirement Index has offered a comparative assessment of retirement security in 44 developed countries. The index evaluated 18 key indicators grouped into four subindexes: Finances in Retirement, Material Wellbeing, Health and Quality of Life. Using metrics as varied as life expectancy, income per capita, environmental quality, and government debt provide a multi-dimensional view of how well countries are positioned to support aging populations.
