Reading this week’s Economist, I was struck by this point it is editorial on retirement:
This seems like an eminently sensible idea. Not only will it save money but by pegging the retirement age to life expectancy it is fair in inter-generational terms. I’d be interested in hearing what Coffee Housers think of the idea? Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a substantive objection to it.“only Denmark has taken the radical step of indexing the pensionable age to life expectancy.”
