No offense, but then your first statement is a bit irrelevant, don’t you think?

Obviously people here will work past 55, as the retirement age in Europe is somewhere between 60 and 68, depending on the actual country.

Not saying seniors are living it large here, but I would be appalled to see an 80yo (have to) work as a delivery-person

But what’s the statistic for people aged 65 and above?

This is nonsense.

In Western/Central Europe and Scandinavia, smaller families are the norm, yet nobody sees 80 year old people working.

This is entirely the fault of unchained capitalism, corruption and half a century of lobbying against the working class.
