Isn’t the actual problem competition from factories overseas they have lower safety standards and wages? Just because there’s more housing doesn’t mean you suddenly have a good wage. You still have to save up for retirement, and some people invest in mutual funds instead of buying property

Overseas European here. Our safety standards are likely on par or even higher in many cases. Wages for factory workers surely are higher on average as well and you don't save up for your retirement here as this is already deducted from your wage or partly funded by the government.
