The fiscal crisis is in the face of the situation, British Prime Minister Tras recently said that the possibility of raising the retirement age of the people in advance is not ruled out. British ministers consider raising the age of receiving national pensions to 68 as early as 2035, when millions of British people may delay retirement .
Currently, the age for British people to receive national pensions is 66 years old, but this number is gradually increasing. An assessment released by the British Ministry of Labor and Pensions in December last year showed that the government is considering raising the age of pensions in advance, and starting from 2037, the British may have to wait until they are 68 to receive their pensions. But experts recommend that the decision be implemented by 2035 be implemented two years ahead of schedule.
According to the " Sun ", ministers are considering stepping up the age of 68 to 2035, and sources have not denied the relevant reports. Recently, when British Prime Minister Tras was asked whether he would raise his pension age to over 67 years old, she said: "You are asking me to speculate on a decision that has not been made yet. We are facing a very difficult international situation and the global economy is slowing down, so I will do everything I can to solve these problems."
According to the Pension Act of 2007, the UK's national pension age will be raised from 67 to 68 years old from 2044 to 2046. To alleviate fiscal pressure, British ministers may advance it to the next decade, sources said.
British Times Charity Director Caroline Abrahams said: "Now, if the government decides to make people in their 50s spend longer waiting for the state pension, thousands of ordinary people will experience a tragic and impoverished day before retirement."
Liberal Democratic pension spokesman Wendy Chamberlain said: "Leeds Trass has screwed up the mortgage and now she is ready to force millions to cancel retirement plans. With life expectancy falling, it is wrong to raise the retirement age, and this government is completely out of touch. What is Trass' next goal?"
