But trends in poverty by age have been changing. The OECD (2008) reported that people who have seen the biggest income gains over the last two decades are those around retirement age (55-75), while young people (aged 16-24) and children have seen their relative income decline. As a consequence, the rate of pensioner poverty has fallen, with very large declines in some countries, and is now below the OECD population average. For older pensioners, those aged over 75, the risk of poverty also remains relatively high, at 1.5 times the population average with single older women being particularly at risk.
