And while the elderly are forced to keep working/looking for work, the youth unemployment rate skyrockets off the scale.

Sheer stupidity and bloody-minded ideology, nothing more.

What you dont understand, is that 40 was once considered being "elderly",

Image if everyone retires at the age of 40.. not only would you only spent a pathetic 20 years in the work force but you would of barely of saved up enough to last the next 50 years.. and trust me, 50 of being retired.. you'll get bored real fast.

As our life expectancy grows its only nature we work longer, though out history we have pushed retirement age back and back again as we live longer and longer.. this is a logical move, that even Labor would be forced to support.

Good idea in theory but Won't work.

They understand that people over 65 in general will not be working as many can't and the majority of those who can will not be able to find a job.

About the same number of people over 65 will not be working it is just that they will be on unemployment benefits instead of a pension unless there are some real structural changes put in place.

The retirement pension age of 65 was put in place in 1910 and had never changed till now.

No Andrei - the grave while he's still working at 60 or 70.

Work till you drop.

Why should we trust you on that? You are all of 21 or 22, how would you have any idea?

You'll just have to learn to pray from a standing position. No more begging for forgiveness.
