While the government delay retirement for older people, there will be fewer jobs for young people to take up.
Doesn't it just seem a bit crazy that these young people will live life on benefits, while those who should be putting their feet up continue to work?

And as for women having long periods off work on Maternity leave....these days women seem to go back to work earlier(that is if they actually have a job)........and as for women doing less labour intensive work...that is a huge generalisation...plus when women get home from a day at work there is another job waiting for them at home.......called looking after the family.

As for putting money into pensions when you are 40....that is good in principle, but there is no guarantee on the returns being enough to allow you to retire earlier, or to a more comfortable lifestyle......at present savings are worth diddly squat(I never ever thought I would say that)
