The state pension age independent review is gathering evidence and will consider a broad range of factors before making recommendations to the government in 2017 on the state pension system of the future.
This comes as the review published an interim report which sets out the evidence they have considered so far and proposes a series of questions which have been identified as key in shaping any recommendations.
We have highlighted some of the key questions for the NHS below:
Impacts on occupational pensions: How far should this review take into account impacts on occupational scheme rules and what challenges may these schemes face if state pension age is changed?
Triggers for early exit from employment: What evidence is there to suggest burnout is a feature of certain professions and what are the alternatives for workers in those roles? To what extent can a delay in state pension age act as a mechanism to enable working longer?
The transition between work and retirement: The terms of reference for the review require it to consider three key areas of affordability, fairness and fuller working lives. Is there any evidence that these government policies have any impact on the decision to work longer? What other policies could government adopt alongside the fuller working lives strategy to strengthen these outcomes?
