@8H5FW6C4yrs4Y
No, and those who keep working should have a means tested pension
@9HK9YD6 5mos5MO
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
@9FTJVYVOpportunities7mos7MO
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
@9FM6L8QNew Zealand First7mos7MO
It should be incentized for those who want to continue working and it should be means tested for the wealthy
@9FK9C93New Conservative7mos7MO
Increase age for super. Lower age for kiwisaver withdrawal to allow early retirement.
@9FJZ6Y67mos7MO
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
@9D7PD959mos9MO
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
@9CZNY5SOpportunities9mos9MO
It should increase by one month every year. That way it’s always increasing but not unfair on those about to retire.
@9CHGZM2DemocracyNZ10mos10MO
No, but it should be means-tested 65-67y
@9CCDY7P11mos11MO
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
@9CB5JWH11mos11MO
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
@9B8GF4W1yr1Y
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.
@9B2G5MN1yr1Y
Raised based on average life expectancy as it changes

@8YTY6CP2yrs2Y
why is there an age of retirement? what does the government have to do with people that retire if they do not employ them
@8XMY6CX2yrs2Y
Retirement should be means tested. Those who require it sooner should get it sooner
@8DRQDVC4yrs4Y
@9FC49X97mos7MO
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.
@9FB734LTe Pāti Māori7mos7MO
current age is fine. Ban immigrants from receiving pension
@9FB6HBTOpportunities7mos7MO
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
@9F6JK4R8mos8MO
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.
@9F4T6V3Opportunities8mos8MO
Age should stay the same, but allow people to retire earlier at a reduced pension
@9DY32YBNew Zealand First8mos8MO
No because the current life expectancy is 73. So mid life crisis would be in my 30s. Technically, I should retire earlier.
@9DV8ZGYOpportunities8mos8MO
Yes it should be means tested
@9DRXV7H8mos8MO
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.
@9DRW7NC8mos8MO
Yes and it should be regularly reviewed as the population ages
@9DRS4P88mos8MO
no people should choose when they retire
No, but pensions should be means tested
@9DQCX3D8mos8MO
no and that you are able to get your kiwisaver from 60
@9DM22P68mos8MO
yes and means tested - it is just the same as other welfare benefits.
@9DF7WBW8mos8MO
Yes, but only as long as people are able to fulfill their jobs competently
@9DD4FMP8mos8MO
No, and those who work full time should not receive it.
@9DCCQHCOpportunities8mos8MO
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.
@9DC9F248mos8MO
Only if it is applied immediately and not phased in
@9D94WWLOpportunities8mos8MO
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
@9D88R75New Zealand First9mos9MO
we should have a referendum on this
