Summary:
The government of the UK wants to raise the state pension age for men to 66 and they want to change it rather quickly. Plans are mad that before 2016 the age limit will already be changed. The pensions system, which Britain was so proud of, needs a rapid change because currently it leaves millions in poverty. That is why the government wants to change the age to 66 and perhaps even to 68. The coalition argues about whether this should be speeded up. According to some this change is unacceptable because the ‘workclass’ has a life expectancy of 77 years for men and 81 for women.
Opinion:
I totally disagree with the planning of this new change. 65 years of work should be enough for a person, male or female. If someone is expected to die around the age of 77 then the government should grand them the freedom to do whatever they want in those 12 years of pension time. If it was me and I would have to work the same factory job for another 3 to 4 years instead of living of my pension fund I’d be really pissed and so I can understand the public’s feeling around this matter.
