“A ‘squeezed generation’ of middle-aged Europeans are convinced they are going to be poorer in retirement than their parents, according to a global survey that found the Chinese the most confident about their future and the French, Germans and Spanish the most pessimistic. Americans are the most sure they will enjoy their retirement, the British are among the most likely to worry about being lonely, while individuals in Eastern European countries are uniformly morose about their future. In the survey, 43% of Japanese said they associate retirement with ‘insecurity’ compared to just 13% in China and the US, and 15% in the UK.”
