New retirement ages have significant impacts on workers, particularly in countries like the United States, where changes in retirement systems place more responsibility on individuals to save for their futures.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Life Expectancy and Retirement Age</h2>
According to United Nations Population Division data, global life expectancy has risen dramatically. In 1950, the average global life expectancy was 46.5 years. In 2000, it rose to 66 years. And it is anticipated to reach 76 by 2050. Many governments face pressure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42850946/planning-your-retirement-new-changes-to-social-security-in-2025-could-affect-you">adjust retirement ages</a> to keep pension systems sustainable with people living longer.&nbsp;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
According to U.S. News, in 2023, France raised its legal retirement age from 62 to 64, beginning in 2030. This sparked nationwide protests from French citizens. China also recently raised its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40986307/china-raises-retirement-age-for-the-first-time-in-decades-what-it-means-for-global-pension-syste">statutory retirement age – </a>it is now 63 for men and 58 for women in certain jobs. Other countries, like Iceland and Norway, already have some of the highest retirement ages globally, at 67.&nbsp;
Contrasting this, other nations like Sri Lanka have much lower retirement ages, with workers eligible to retire at 55. The benchmarks vary widely but highlight the trend of later retirement as life expectancy continues to rise.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Trends: Retirement Ages and Shifting Responsibilities</h2>
The current full retirement age in the U.S. (for full Social Security benefits) is 66 or 67, depending on your birth year. However, the average time workers typically leave the workforce is around age 65.&nbsp;
See Also: Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a>
Many American workers have historically relied on employer-sponsored pensions for their retirement savings. However, with the rise of 401(k) plans, many companies have shifted away from pensions, placing a higher responsibility for saving on the employees themselves. This makes personal savings strategies even more important.&nbsp;
"One aspect I emphasize to my clients is the significance of understanding their assets and how they align with their retirement goals," Marty Burbank, an elder law attorney and owner of OC Elder Law in Fullerton, California, told U.S. News in an email.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Global Pressures and Policy Responses</h2>
Raising the retirement age is about more than just longevity. Around the world, birth rates are declining in developed nations, meaning fewer workers are contributing to pension systems and retirement funds. The World Bank reports that fertility rates have fallen from 3.2 births per woman in 1990 to 2.4 in 2019, effectively shrinking the workforce while the proportion of retirees increases.&nbsp;
To address this disparity, some governments have developed strategies with flexible retirement strategies and incentives for working longer and delaying retirement. Japan, for example, offers higher pension benefits for workers who delay retirement beyond 65. Sweden has also introduced partial pension systems, which allow workers to keep working at reduced hours while receiving partial benefits.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deciding When to Retire</h2>
For workers in the U.S., there's a lot to consider regarding retirement. It involves weighing factors around finances, health and other personal circumstances. The timing of retirement for many Americans also revolves around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42920272/despite-a-modest-50-monthly-increase-in-2025-americans-worry-social-security-may-not-survive-past-2034">Social Security</a>. Benefits are reduced for those who start claiming before their full retirement age and benefits increase annually if you delay claiming them – up to age 70. Medicare eligibility also begins at 65, throwing another layer of consideration.&nbsp;
"For many families, they simply cannot afford to retire much earlier because they don't have the financial resources to accept discounted Social Security benefits if they claim early or the funds to purchase private health insurance until Medicare begins," Jamie Upson, a certified financial planner and owner of Stonehearth Capital Management in Danvers, Massachusetts, told U.S. News.&nbsp;
As life expectancies rise globally, understanding retirement trends and upcoming policy changes may become crucial in retirement planning. Staying informed about financial and health considerations can help retirees navigate this complex decision.&nbsp;

WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions taken against national banks and federal savings associations (banks), and individuals currently and formerly affiliated with banks the OCC supervises. The OCC also announced updates to its enforcement action search tool.
The OCC uses enforcement actions against banks to require the board of directors and management to take timely actions to correct the deficient practices or violations identified. Actions taken against banks are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.occ.gov/static/enforcement-actions/eaAA-ENF-2024-56.pdf">Cease and Desist</a> Order against Bank of America, N.A., Charlotte, North Carolina, for violations and unsafe or unsound practices related to the bank's Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering, and sanctions compliance programs. Refer to OCC News Release <a href="https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2024/nr-occ-2024-140.html">2024-140</a>. (Docket No. AA-ENF-2024-56)</li>
</ul>
The OCC uses enforcement actions against an institution-affiliated party (IAP) to deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty. Enforcement actions against IAPs reinforce the accountability of individuals for their conduct regarding the affairs of a bank. The term "institution-affiliated party," or IAP, is defined in 12 USC 1813(u) and includes bank directors, officers, employees, and controlling shareholders. Orders of Prohibition prohibit an individual from any participation in the affairs of a bank or other institution as defined in 12 USC 1818(e)(7). Actions taken against IAPs are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.occ.gov/static/enforcement-actions/eaAA-EC-2019-81.pdf">Order of Prohibition and Order for Civil Money Penalty</a> against Claudia Russ Anderson, former Community Bank Group Risk Officer at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for her failure to credibly challenge the bank's incentive compensation program, failure to institute effective controls to manage the risks posed by sales practices misconduct, and failure to escalate known or obvious risks related to sales practices misconduct, which contributed to the bank's systemic problems with sales practices misconduct that lasted until 2016, as well as for obstructing the OCC's examination of the bank. The assessed civil money penalty is $10 million. Refer to OCC News Release <a href="https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-3.html">2025-3</a>.

&nbsp;
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the marketing of 20 ZYN nicotine pouch products through the <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">premarket tobacco product application (PMTA)</a> pathway following an extensive scientific review. This is the first time the agency has authorized products commonly referred to as <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">nicotine pouches</a>, which are small synthetic fiber pouches containing nicotine designed to be placed between a person's gum and lip. &nbsp;
The FDA determined that the specific products receiving marketing authorization met the <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">public health standard</a> legally required by the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. This standard considers the risks and benefits of products to the population as a whole.&nbsp;
Among several key considerations, the agency's evaluation showed that, due to substantially lower amounts of harmful constituents than cigarettes and most smokeless tobacco products, such as moist snuff and snus, the authorized products pose lower risk of cancer and other serious health conditions than such products. The applicant also provided evidence from a study showing that a substantial proportion of adults who use cigarette and/or smokeless tobacco products completely switched to the newly authorized nicotine pouch products.
