The statutory retirement age across the Asia-Pacific region is low, considering the current and increasing life expectancies, resulting in long retirement duration. Eliminating age barriers in the formal labour market would help to ease the fiscal pressure on pension schemes and health-care systems. Allowing older persons to work as long as they are able and willing would sustain their self-sufficiency and reduce their social alienation.
