How to read this figure
The women’s twin of the men’s retirement-age field — same OECD definition, kept separate because several countries still legislate different ages for women (often lower, sometimes converging by cohort). Where the two fields agree, the law is sex-neutral; where they differ, that difference is the fact worth reading.
