Later retirement in old-age

Apparently, 16% of older employees are willing to work on to a later retirement age. So devastated have retirement finances been manipulated, the prospects of a very difficult retirement have persuaded people to become compliant and accept a reduced retirement period before a 'natural' death. The upside for government by this manipulation is far fewer years if old-age-pensioner status ever gets attained.

Remember this: how long before fat is taxed. Otherwise it is another essentially waste product.
