Where to spend your later years is a question many people ask. For a long time, the dream of a calm and secure retirement pointed to southern Europe.

The latest global ranking, however, paints a different picture: the country judged best for a carefree retirement lies outside Europe.

Latvia is among the countries included in the ranking. A publication by Apollo.lv looks at what the countries in the ranking offer to older people, Latvia included.

The source material available is only a short introduction. It does not name the ranking's authors, the specific countries, their positions or the criteria used. For that reason it is not possible to say here which country holds first place or where Latvia stands.
