Podcat #25: Reviews and reflections on state pension age and pension freedoms

written by Tom McPhail

Wednesday, 04 May 2022

In a bonus solo podcast, Tom looks at the government's ongoing review into the state pension age.

Tom discusses the review and call for evidence - which closed last month - and the issues the review will cover.

He highlights the numbers and costs to keep in mind, and how we compare to the French approach on a couple of different measures.

Tom examines the balance between pensioners and taxpayers, and how for him the intergenerational divide is starting to feel a bit "stretched".

He also gives his takeaways on parliament's review of pension freedoms, and what it tells us about government policy.
