A higher percentage of investors in North America and the Asia-Pacific are saving for retirement than in other regions of the world, according to a global survey conducted by Nielsen.
Out of 30,000 people surveyed worldwide for the Nielsen Global Survey of Saving and Investment Strategies, 35 percent of respondents in North America and 34 percent of respondents in Asia-Pacific said that saving for retirement and their children's futures was a financial priority. Thirty-nine percent of respondents in both regions said they are presently saving for retirement, which exceeded the global average.
Less than one-third of respondents in Latin America, 30 percent in the Middle East/Africa and 26 percent in Europe said they are presently saving for retirement. In Europe, 40 percent of respondents said they have no intention of saving for retirement at all, compared to the global average of 22 percent, according to Nielsen.
