Two separate reports for the government have raised the possibility that millions of people may have to work longer to qualify for a state pension.

An analysis for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has suggested that workers under the age of 30 may not get a pension until the age of 70.

A second report, by John Cridland, proposes that those under the age of 45 may have to work a year longer, to 68.

Given that many jobs will be replaced by technology, what will they be doing ?

 

Human population will hit 9 billion by 2035, with about 75 million being in the UK. In a world after Brexit, the UK government has said they will be trading with the world, so more imports from around the world. The UK has to import the raw material it needs to manufacture. Most of what is sold in shops is imported.

 

The pension changes are purely about government budgets and taxation politics. There really needs to be a look forward to what the world will be like in 2025, 2035 etc. We are stuck with a state pension scheme, because many people will not have sufficient private pensions. It will get worse because younger generations are spending greater proportions of income on housing costs. Therefore they are not saving for when they are older. Also the nest egg of a house they own which can be sold later if necessary, will not be there for many currently under 40.

 

I predict that the state pension age will be increased to 70, earlier than the government has previously announced.

We could do with some help from you.

A couple marry very young. The husband works but the wife remains at home, bringing up the children, etc.

Over his working life of 40 years, the husband pays 40% tax and a large amount (around £300 per month) of his salary in NICS.

They unfortunatley separate, (but do not divorce), just before retirement age.

The wife claims a State Pension of just £65 per week due to lack of NICs contributions, and this is topped up by pension credit. She receives, in all, around £600 per month to live on.

The husband's State pension is about 3 times more because he has paid sufficient contirbutions and also has a small private pension. He will receive around £900 per month in all.

Is the wife be entitled to any of the husband's State Pension, so that she no longer needs to remain in the benefits system?

It does seem very unfair that the wife, who had worked equally hard throughout their 40 year marriage, supporting the husband whilst he climbed the career ladder, now she survives on very little.

Whilst the husband does not receive a huge amount to live on, it seems wrong that the wife must rely upon benefits in order to survive, when the husband's NICs should have been enough to provide a State Pension for both of them.
