Argentina's retirees are forced to continue working due to low incomes

Buenos Aires, Apr 27 (EFE) - The meager incomes of most retirees in Argentina are far from covering their basic needs, so a growing number are forced to continue working, even nonagenarians, mostly in the informal sector and with equally depressed wages.

In Argentina, the retirement age is 60 for women and 65 for men and there are some 6.5 million retirees, representing almost 14% of the country's total population.
