Should the government raise the retirement age to 75 when our life expectancy seems to have hit its high and it looks like its now coming down?
Not long for me now (7 years) I feel sorry for those who may have to work till they drop.
From the guardian -
British adults’ life expectancy has been cut by six months in the biggest reduction in official longevity forecasts.
The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, which calculates life expectancy on behalf of the UK pension industry, declined to speculate on why longevity is deteriorating for men and women in England and Wales. Some analysts, however, blame austerity and cuts in NHS spending, others point to worsening obesity, dementia and diabetes.
