Young could get early access to state pension
After implementing a five-year assessment program, England’s government is reviewing the country’s pension age. The government funded review is being lead by John Cridland, former head of business organization at the Confederation of British Industry. One of the major issues being discussed is an early access pension plan for manual laborers or those who enter the labor force at 16. By 2028 and 2046, the age at which a person is eligible to receive a pension will be increased to 67 and 68, respectively. Cridland argues that this rising pension age is unfair for workers with long working lives, or jobs that require manual labor, which could result in shorter life expectancies.
