This analysis does NOT mean that life expectancy is going backwards. Children born today are still expected to live longer than previous generations. The analysis says that improvements in life expectancy are getting smaller, after peaking in the early 2000s.
Does this mean the state pension age will be coming down or is this like petrol prices?
Pension age will keep going up and life expectancy will keep coming down until there’s a fortnight left between them. And that will be spent trying to fill in the forms for the state pension.
Government plan to cut pension costs no doubt
Couldn't this (theoretically) also mean that fewer people died before the age of 65 than in the past?
For example, people who get strokes, heart attacks or cancer before the age of 65 might receive better care today and therefore live past 65, but they might still not have the same average life expectancy as their same aged peers.
Who the hell wants to live beyond their mid-80s?
People in their mid eighties that’s who!
Hiho.. I’ve just produced lab budgets till I’m 69! #why?
