Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

Well, 5.02/1,000 is less than 0.5%. However, 0.5% includes those die of old age. I can't find data on Mortality Rate for people die during their working life..... we can safely assume it is less than 0.5%, right?
So, the problem of "die too young" (probably define as pre-mature death during working life) is safely said to be less than 1% and the problem of "lack of money for retirement" should be a problem of 99% of us.
