Visualising global attitudes towards retirement

This article by Katie Jones, first published by Visual Capitalist notes that statistics show that around the world, people are concerned that they will not have enough money in retirement. It also notes that while many people view retirement as a welcome reward following a successful career, the transition to retirement is not always easy. Invariably, an enjoyable retirement is dictated by the amount of money people have set aside.
