abstract: This research explores influence of population ageing on pension age considering threshold ages for various measures of population ageing. In Turkey, no studies on measures that use life tables with population figures has been conducted before. Recommendations on pension age with different types of measures contribute to rethinking existing policies on retirement age and adds to societal relevance. This is a quantitative study and secondary data is used. According to commonly used measures, population is young in Turkey. However in terms of pension regime, as eligibilty ages for pensions have been low, pensioners enter ‘old age’ at young ages. The average age of pensioners depict old age dependency ratios (OADRs) not lower than 30%. Changes in mortality, intergenerational fairness and constant OADRs ar  used to assess pension age. Results show that ideal age for pensions is dependent on the threshold ages of different measures and way of approaching age.
