Australia is the country most workers and retirees around the world would like to live in 20 years' time, an international survey found.
However, most Australians are unaware of how they will fund their retirement, the poll concluded.
The Retirement Scope survey conducted by French insurance giant AXA questioned workers from 26 countries, with two-thirds of Australian respondents unaware of the source of their retirement income or how much they would need.
Australians ranked as more aware than people from France, Spain or Indonesia, but behind those in Malaysia where more than half of workers can "put their finger on their retirement income", Fairfax newspapers report.
On the other hand, Australia's relaxed lifestyle and climate were its biggest attractions for retirees around the world, who voted it the most desirable place to retire to, although Australian respondents preferred New Zealand.
Australia came out above the United States and Switzerland.
The survey of 15,000 people found the average income of Australian retirees was $1,917 a month, while the cost of average household expenses is $1,437 a month.
"The survey found that the average retirement age among Australians is 57 years of age, and that 'old' is at 80 years, giving Australians 23 'bonus years' in which to enjoy a healthy and active retirement," AXA general manager of sales and marketing Adrian Emery told Fairfax.

一項(xiàng)世界范圍調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，澳大利亞是世界各地眾多勞動(dòng)者和退休人士最向往的晚年居住地。
然而，多數(shù)澳大利亞人對(duì)于自己的退休金問(wèn)題卻一無(wú)所知。
該項(xiàng)由法國(guó)保險(xiǎn)業(yè)巨頭AXA集團(tuán)開(kāi)展的“退休知多少”調(diào)查共對(duì)26個(gè)國(guó)家的勞動(dòng)者進(jìn)行了訪問(wèn)。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，三分之二的澳大利亞受訪者不知道他們的退休金來(lái)源以及自己究竟需要多少退休金。
據(jù)《費(fèi)爾費(fèi)克斯》報(bào)業(yè)報(bào)道，澳洲人對(duì)于退休金問(wèn)題的了解強(qiáng)于法國(guó)、西班牙和印度尼西亞人，但要遜色于馬來(lái)西亞人。調(diào)查顯示，超過(guò)一半的馬來(lái)西亞受訪者“對(duì)自己的退休金問(wèn)題了如指掌”。
另一方面，對(duì)于世界各地的退休人士來(lái)說(shuō)，澳大利亞悠閑的生活方式和宜人的氣候是最吸引他們的地方。然而，盡管澳洲被評(píng)為最令人向往的退休居住地，但澳大利亞本國(guó)人卻更青睞新西蘭。
美國(guó)和瑞士位居澳大利亞之后。
該項(xiàng)共有1.5萬(wàn)人參加的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，澳洲人的退休金為平均每月1917澳元，家庭平均月開(kāi)支為1437澳元。
AXA集團(tuán)營(yíng)銷總監(jiān)阿德里安?埃默里在接受《費(fèi)爾費(fèi)克斯》報(bào)業(yè)的采訪時(shí)說(shuō)：“調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，澳洲人的平均退休年齡為57歲，而（多數(shù)人認(rèn)為）80歲才是老年階段的開(kāi)始，所以澳洲人可享受23年擁有退休金、健康而有活力的退休生活。”
