There are several dynamics which need more public airing and discussion:

The Rocco philosophy

Adjusting employment practices so there is no disincentive to employ the over 50’s - for example here in Switzerland employers are obligated to pay more into pension plans for the older folks

Indexing the relationship between working years and retirement years - when we introduced State pensions here in Switzerland the ratio was about 44 years of working to an expected 13 of retirement. In other words about 80:20. We need to adjust our models of working so it is indexed to life expectancy.
