Any other comments are welcome, but one thing that I want to figure out is why the OECD figures on expected years of retirement (which I used in the write-up) differ so much from simply calculating expected years of retirement using life expectancy and retirement age numbers from Wikipedia (which I mentioned as a note at the end).

The first method (using OECD numbers) says that Russian men get 65% of the years of retirement of Russian women, while the second method says that they get just 24%. Any ideas? The OECD page says that their data might underestimate women's retirement years but (1) I wouldn't think by that much, and (2) they say that because their figures don't account for stay-at-home parents but this second method doesn't either.
