How does the UK state pension compare with other countries?
Do British pensioners have it better or worse than those in other countries?

Getting older is something few of us want to think about. Yet how we fund our later years, and how much we'll get, has been a hot topic.
The triple lock formula - state pensions increasing by the greatest of 2.5%, earnings growth, or inflation - means those benefits have risen far faster than the earnings of workers since its introduction in 2011.
But as housing costs have also been rising fast, pensioner poverty has actually increased slightly in the last decade.
However, that does also mean that those relying on just the state pension for their incomes are a fair bit worse off than many retired people elsewhere.
