The indicator assesses whether the law mandates the same compulsory retirement age for women and men. The indicator is assigned a score of 1 if the age for a woman and a man is the same, and 0 if the difference in ages is equal to or greater than 5 years. If the difference in ages is greater than zero and less than 5 years, the score is calculated using a linear function, indicating that as the age gap between men and women decreases, the score increases. For details, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf)
