Equalizing the retirement age for women and men

Is the difference in retirement age between men and women a privilege—or a thing of the past? In a world increasingly focused on gender equality, current disparities are being challenged. Supporters of equalization argue that women live longer on average, drawing pensions longer and placing a greater strain on the retirement and healthcare systems. Opponents respond that women have long shouldered the dual burden of work and child-rearing, which should be factored in. Is aligning retirement age true fairness—or the dismantling of hard-earned protections? See what others think—and take a stand.
