In Australia, the average age at which people retire has declined from 59.5 to 59.3 for men, and risen from 52.1 to 54 for women. The eligibility age in Australia for the pension is now 67.

In 2020 to 2021, there were 4.1 million Australians, aged 45 years and over, who were retired. This group comprised 1.8 million men and 2.3 million women. Just over half of all retired persons were aged 70 years and over.
