18. Try again.

Grabbed a cited country at random from your post.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension_policy_in_South_Korea

The pension scheme for elderly in South Korea developed relatively recently when compared to other democratic nations. One-half of Korea's population aged 65 and over lives in relative poverty, nearly four times higher than the OECD average of 13%. Elderly poverty is thus an urgent social problem. Furthermore, public social spending provided by general government (that is central, state, and local governments, including social security funds) per GDP in South Korea is the lowest among the OECD countries, a half of OECD average.

OP was about retirement-age person displaced by economic and natural disaster, inference; poverty.
Yep, America sucks at that sort of thing. Half the country is constantly gnawing at the safety nets we try and erect.

America is not alone in this regard.
