> In most Western countries, being a resident is associated with healthcare and pension

Then that's the difference.

American citizens can collect Social Security while residing in foreign countries. Same with VA benefits.



I think you misunderstood. Most (EU) pension systems also payout worldwide.

It is the 'putting in' part which depends on residency.


They have one criterion for putting in and a different one for paying out?

That would seem.....unfair.


What do you mean? You pay in the country you live/work in. You get back your pension wherever you are, from every country you've worked for in your life. Sounds pretty fair to me
