BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Retirement age 'should reach 85'

Yeah I know it is a science/nature article. But for a second think about the ramifications on social security and pensions etc.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Retirement age 'should reach 85':

"The age of retirement should be raised to 85 by 2050 because of trends in life expectancy, a US biologist has said.

Shripad Tuljapurkar of Stanford University says anti-ageing advances could raise life expectancy by a year each year over the next two decades.

That will put a strain on economies around the world if current retirement ages are maintained, he warned."
