No, and those who keep working should have a means tested pension
@9HK9YD6 1yr1Y
The age of ate for 65 for beneficial of leg sets by legend former US president Donald Trump and former UK Prime minister's office is increased White House issued
Keep it at 65 with an option to retire then or should the worker choose, they can continue working subject they are mentally and physically able to
Yes if it really needs to happen but types of work should be a consideration to the age of retirement eg physically demanding jobs
Yes for those whose life expectancy has increased reduced for those groups whose life expectancy is less, due to health, race, socioeconomic factors and take into account physical work.
Lower for Māori by 7 years
It should be incentized for those who want to continue working and it should be means tested for the wealthy
Increase age for super. Lower age for kiwisaver withdrawal to allow early retirement.
@9FJZ6Y61yr1Y
No, but if you have never worked your pension should be lower than someone who had contributed financially through taxation
No but remove the retirement money for those who continue to work over 20 hours per week.
Yes, and make the Superannuation means tested
@9DD4FMP1yr1Y
No, and those who work full time should not receive it.
@9D7PD951yr1Y
Stay at 65 but lower to 60 for tradies such as builders
Yes, although there should be support for people who cannot continue to work.
Yes, As the mortality rate increases so should the retirement age
@9FC49X91yr1Y
No it should be lowered with incentives fir those who choose to continue to work
No, and it should be based on gender / ethnicity age ranges e.g. less for ethniticies who don't live to older ages.
current age is fine. Ban immigrants from receiving pension
No retirement age on Universal Basic Income
Yes but in a very graduated way so that generations coming up to retirement can prepare
One should have a choice when they want to retire based on health issues with their doctors
@9F6JK4R1yr1Y
Should be linked to class of work. Lower for manual labour much higher for sedentary occupations.
Yes except for workers with physically demanding jobs, or disabilities that mean they can't work.
Age should stay the same, but allow people to retire earlier at a reduced pension
No because the current life expectancy is 73. So mid life crisis would be in my 30s. Technically, I should retire earlier.
Yes it should be means tested
@9DRXV7H1yr1Y
No. It needs to be 60. As human beings we should get more than 10-15 years without having to work and wreck our bodies with our 1 shot at life. It needs to be lowered.
@9DRW7NC1yr1Y
Yes and it should be regularly reviewed as the population ages
@9DRS4P81yr1Y
no people should choose when they retire
No, but pensions should be means tested
@9DQCX3D1yr1Y
no and that you are able to get your kiwisaver from 60
@9DM22P61yr1Y
yes and means tested - it is just the same as other welfare benefits.
@9DF7WBW1yr1Y
Yes, but only as long as people are able to fulfill their jobs competently
Notify all eligible at age 65, and ask if they want to wait until a date of their choosing (say up to 70). If yes hold off to that date.
@9DC9F241yr1Y
Only if it is applied immediately and not phased in
I am happy with 65 if we means test the pension
Yes but raise supported living benefit to the same level so those who cannot continue to work are not penalized
we should have a referendum on this
@9CCDY7P2yrs2Y
Only if the age of starting school + work field is raised, e.g. starting school at 7-8y/o and leaving into the work force at 20/21

@8YTY6CP3yrs3Y
why is there an age of retirement? what does the government have to do with people that retire if they do not employ them
@8XMY6CX3yrs3Y
Retirement should be means tested. Those who require it sooner should get it sooner
@8QP2MFH4yrs4Y
I think it should be raised to 70 but not more than that
@8Q8FDSZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but no higher than 69
@8PDVPXN4yrs4Y
No but raise the residency requirements
@8J22KQ24yrs4Y
No it should be lowered and incentives provided to encourage retirement at the eligible age
@8GJGHJM4yrs4Y
No, providing your household had contributed for 25 years, you should choose when you retire based on your circumstances but limit the period of entitlement to 25 years maximum.
@8FXNQXD4yrs4Y
Yes and introduce a mandatory life ending age
@8DRQDVC4yrs4Y
@8CN88XH4yrs4Y
Lower it for men, who die earlier
@8CGCLVL4yrs4Y
Pay retirees more and get them out of the workforce. They stay in jobs and make good money because they’ve been in them for decades and end up drawing a pension on top. This keeps others from advancing in the workplace and moving up in the world. The pension should be means tested.
It should increase by one month every year. That way it’s always increasing but not unfair on those about to retire.
@9CHGZM2DemocracyNZ2yrs2Y
No, but it should be means-tested 65-67y
@9CB5JWH2yrs2Y
Unless they are self employed, people over 65 should only be allowed to continue to work up to 3 days per week until they are 67. After that age it should be a legal requirement that they cease working so younger people can fill these positions.
Yes, but it needs to be tied to life expectancy perhaps in regards to one's ethnicity
@9B8GF4W2yrs2Y
No, health impacts from Covid are expected to shorten our healthy physical and mental life span, so over the next decades the retirement age will need to be lowered to accommodate earlier disability.
@9B2G5MN2yrs2Y
Raised based on average life expectancy as it changes
@8P73MRF4yrs4Y
No a flexible superannuation scheme should be introduced.
@8G6W4ZJ4yrs4Y
No, but lower for those who have worked for more than 25 years in a physically demanding job
@8FXTCG24yrs4Y
I think people that chose to work shohkd get a tax break, no tax on super and if you have had a manual job super earlier than sedantary roles
@8FS2J664yrs4Y
There should be a mandatory life ending age
