A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. Men over the age of 65 and women over 60 are eligible for government pensions. By 2046 the retirement age for both men and women will rise to 68.

I am happy with the current amount of pension payments
@92D97LC2yrs2Y
No, I am happy with the current amount of pension payments
Yes, For government workers but not police or politicians
@8YGGHN72yrs2Y
Government works should receive pensions at the same rate as workers in the private sector for doing the same job at the same pay.
@8KJS9694yrs4Y
No, they should remain the same as they’d get via the law or what they would get via a private pension system or individual private pension. Pensions shouldn’t be increased just because they worked for the government.
@8JVPM224yrs4Y
Create a universal basic income. Pensions are one of the things that are made completely unnecessary once we have a UBI.
@8JSWDVM4yrs4Y
I am satisfied with the current amount.
pension payments should be increased for everyone
@9HTKK9V4mos4MO
All retired workers should receive a pension based on what they have put in. But this should be capped at a minimum threshold.
@9GBQSM87mos7MO
No, it's has to be for everyone else too not just government workers. Not those who are politician though.

Pensions need to be more progressive and those on the lowest incomes with the lowest assets of course need a greater rise. However, even for higher up the income bracket, without legislation otherwise funding should always be indexed to CPI
@96N7ZNQ2yrs2Y
Yes but only for Mitary, Police and low income nurses
@95FRM392yrs2Y
Yes, but this should not be limited to government workers. All pensioners should be entitled to a means tested minimum livable pension.

Create a universal basic income, after which the concept of pensions becomes redundant
