What this measures

Average effective age of retirement, men, in years. Source: OECD. For this measure, no agreed better direction.

The age at which men actually stop working, averaged over five years, not the official pension age. It comes from a 2018 release that Our World in Data keeps as a snapshot, so the series ends there. Men's and women's ages are treated as measuring the same thing.
