Speigel online has the following graphic of national debts around the world - good visual for getting students talking about debt size. Would be better if it had information about the size of GDP in each nation.

Retirement Ages - International Comparison
So, the French are protesting the plan by their government to push up the retirement age from age 60 to 62. This is part of a larger political battle about bringing European government budgets into compliance with the Euro zone rules. The chart below from the German magazine Speigel shows just how young the French retirement age is when compared to other major industrialized countries.
It is interesting to compare actually retirement ages to official statistics. Also, check out the gender differences in the official ages in every country except the United States.
