Re: State pension age rise brought forward
Whilst I can see the problem, and inevitability that the pension age needs to reflect average life expectancy changes, and thus ability to fund, increasing the age of entitlement isn't necessarily the answer. Many people do more sedentary work, and so can perhaps work till they are a bit older. If your work is more active your body naturally weakens and physically you may be less able. If you can't get a pension, will you be able to get other support if you aren't able to work at your trained skill? Few employers will justify retraining someone in their 60s.
