The Equality and Human Rights Commission has said that the over-65s should be allowed to carry on working.
They say that with the state pension age set to rise to 66 in 2024 and 67 a decade later, it feels the retirement law is outdated and that employers should extend flexible working.
For those who wish to carry on working after the age of 65, the proposed changes will certainly be welcome. However, being the cynical sort of chap I am, I do wonder if this isn’t some sort of underhand plot to raise the age at which people must retire so that savings can be made on their pensions.
