When retirement is stated as an age, it is always in relation to the time when someone can begin receiving benefits such as a pension or social security.

Yup. And I'm not sure how it is in the other nations of the world, but speaking from the US, I can tell you that I have no intention of basing my post-retirement income off of Social Security. Sure, I pay the tax, and when the time comes, assuming it's even still solvent by then, I'll take the pay out, but in all likelyhood, it will be an almost negligible amount of money anyway, so whether I work 'till 50, or 'till 75, will likely depend on simple math, rather than arbitrary dates...
