| Annotation | Between October and December 2005, HSBC surveyed 21,329 adults over the age of 18 in 20 countries and territories worldwide. This title is split into three documents: The future of retirement : what people want; The future of retirement : what business want; and this title which is an executive summary of the other two reports, and introduces the subject of ageing populations. There is a range of data contained in these three reports and yet more data, analysis and supporting material available at the website given. This year's report follows on from HSBC's 2005 global survey, the first of its kind, which covered 11,000 adults. The 2006 survey covers the "advanced economies" of Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, the UK and the US; and the "transitional economies" of Brazil, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Turkey. Within the transitional economies, the survey focuses on "trendsetters" who live mainly in towns and cities and work in the service sector. Key areas of discussion include: the attitudes of individuals, companies and governments towards working later in life; how individuals can be encouraged to increase their personal saving for retirement; how companies can "age proof" their businesses; and the necessary measures to facilitate later working and flexible retirement plans. Particularly key in the UK are the implications of the current pension debate, coupled with the new Pensions Simplification legislation. The report is authored by the Oxford Institute of Ageing. The lead advisor was Age Wave, a consultancy headed by gerontologist Dr Ken Dychtwald, HSBC's Special Advisor on Global Ageing; and the global field work was undertaken by Harris Interactive.
