Turkey placed 33rd out of 44 countries in the 2025 Global Retirement Report, scoring especially low in safety and quality of life, in findings that reflect the mounting struggles of millions of retirees. The study, published by the UK-based Global Intelligence Unit of Global Citizen Solutions, compared retirement conditions across 44 countries using six indices: procedures, citizenship, economics, taxes, quality of life and safety. Turkey ranked 42nd in the Safety and Integration Index and 28th in Quality of Life, which factors in healthcare, environmental quality and weather. Even countries often associated with instability, such as Mexico and Colombia, ranked higher in both safety and quality of life, while Namibia also surpassed Turkey in life quality. Many pensioners have to work after retirement to support themselves amid the high cost of living in the country.
