| Mensagem: |
I suppose it refers to a schedule or program according to which people retire (from work or some other activity) - x this month, another x next month and so on ...
I have never encountered the expression before - world economic crisis ??
No doubt there are other ways of approaching and interpreting the expression.
People sometimes refer to this kind of progressive event as 'staggered'.
As usual, a bit of context can help those attempting to assist people posing queries.
