如果退休之後可以隨心所欲前往自己喜歡的國家久居,你會選擇哪裡呢?

小編的首選應該是New Zealand吧~

風景優美、氣候宜人的島國,感覺就很適合養老 

還沒想到嗎?來看看BBC10/1的國際老人日公布了全球最適合養老的國家

 

 

 

HelpAge International's Global AgeWatch Index measures the social and economic welfare of those over 60.

 

Published on the UN International Day of Older Persons, it ranks Australia, Western Europe and North America highly, and Afghanistan last.

 

The report predicts that by 2050, 21% of the global population will be over 60.

 

國際助老協會依據60歲以上老人的社會和經濟福利,計算出「全球老年人觀察指數」,這項指數在聯合國的「國際老人日」公布,其中澳洲、西歐及北美地區的分數都非常高,阿富汗則在96個國家中拿到最後一名。除此之外,報告中更預測到了2050年時,全球將會有21%的人口超過60歲。

 

The index measures four areas - income security, health, personal capability and whether the person lives in an "enabling environment".

 

「全球老年人觀察指數」由四大層面統計而來,包括收入保障、健康、個人能力(教育程度)及社會環境。

 

 

 

Norway is the best place to grow old, according to an index of the quality of later life in 96 countries.

 

挪威在全球96個國家中脫穎而出,成為「最適合養老的國家」

 

Hot on the heels of Norway comes Sweden, closely followed by Switzerland, Canada and Germany.

 

緊接著,第二到五名依序是:瑞典、瑞士、德國、加拿大。

 

 

   

 

Several Latin American countries - particularly Mexico and Peru - have leapt up the index for their commitment in ensuring "social pensions" for the poorest older people.

 

值得注意的是,拉丁美洲國家在今年的名次有顯著的成長,尤其是墨西哥和秘魯。顯然他們為貧窮老人推動的「社會老人年金」計畫奏效了。

 

In Mexico, nearly nine out of every 10 people aged 65 and over receive a social pension. Because of this, Mexico ranks at 30 on the index, outstripping the BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

 

在墨西哥,65歲以上的老年人中,高達九成可以領到老人年金。因此,墨西哥在今年的排名晉升到第30名,超越了「金磚五國」的巴西、俄羅斯、印度、中國及南非。

 

  

 

Peru has implemented the Pension 65 programme, which provides older people with 250 nuevo soles every two months.

 

祕魯的65歲老人退休金計畫,使得老年人每兩個月可領到250秘魯幣的退休金。

 

 

 

新聞英文單字及片語:

 

Hot on the heels of 緊接著

On the soccer front, hot on the heels of the exciting euro 2004 come the equally majestic copa america and asian cup.

足球方面,歐洲國家杯、美洲杯、亞洲杯,接踵而至。

 

Outstrip (v.) 超過,勝過

His newspaper outstripped its rivals in circulation.

他的報紙在發行量上勝過了他的對手。

 

 BRICS = Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa 金磚五國

為巴西、俄羅斯、印度、中國和南非的縮寫。
