Data Scientist John Myles White used R to compare life expectancy and retirement age in the USA. While male (red) and female (green) life expectancies are rising, average retirement age is going down. What this means for the future of benefit programs like Social Security is the topic of an interesting series of comments on the post.

This is a very interesting thing to read and look at! I didn't think woman lived THAT much longer than men, but this proves me wrong! Very short article, but filled with a lot of information! Weird to see the retirement age dropping as well!

Hmmm... and through stats like this, they'll consider increasing the retirement age even more. It's all a survival game
