Labour review could put state pension age on course to hit 70
Labour is paving the way for the state pension age to be raised to 70 as a review considers tying future increases to life expectancy. Suzy Morrissey, who has been commissioned by Liz Kendall, the Work and Pensions Secretary, to review the official retirement age, said she would examine the 'merits' of automatic increases to help bolster the public finances. The New Zealander said she would examine the experience of other countries that already automatically link payments to life expectancy, including Denmark, which recently raised its retirement age to 70. Experts warned that automatic increases could create 'chaos' in retirement plans. Ms Morrissey's call for evidence, published by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on Monday, said analysis of 'automatic adjustment mechanisms' used in countries such as Finland, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark would form a key part of the review. Ms Morrissey noted that UK life expectancy at age 66 had continued to rise, although she conceded that improvements had been much slower than forecast a decade ago amid a reversal during lockdown. The state pension age will start to rise to 67 from next year and is currently scheduled to rise again to 68 between 2044 and 2046. Any planned increases beyond this are likely to be at least another decade away. However, politicians have previously tried to bring forward increases amid concerns about the burden placed on public finances by the triple lock, which guarantees that the state pension rises by at least 2.5pc each year. Jeremy Hunt, the former chancellor, attempted to bring the increase to 68 forward to the late 2030s. However, he was forced to shelve the plans following a decline in life expectancy that left ministers struggling to justify the change. A man aged 66 in 2050 is now projected to live until 87, compared with 90 using 2014-based projections. Ms Morrissey said she would make her recommendations, which are expected in several years, 'in light of the long-term demographic pressures the country faces', as she noted that spending on the state pension had increased by 19pc over the past decade and 70pc over the past 20 years in real terms. Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy since 2006 and is one of nine OECD countries to do so. The Danish approach effectively caps the amount of time someone can spend claiming state support, legislating that an average of 14.5 years should be spent in retirement. This means that the retirement age rises by one year for every year life expectancy increases in Denmark. By contrast, the UK Government has set out a principle that future generations should spend 'up to a third' of their adult life in retirement. In 2017, the Government Actuary's Department (GAD) suggested the state pension age would rise to 70 in the 2050s if people spend 32pc of their adult life in retirement, though the GAD will consider changes to life expectancy when it updates its projections for this review. Sir Steve Webb, a former pensions minister, noted that automatically linking life expectancy to the state pension age may have seen it swing by up to eight years, depending on whether you used 2012 or 2014 population projections. He said: 'Having a completely automatic formula to move from changes in life expectancy to changes in state pension age could cause chaos for people's financial planning. 'Every time the population projections are updated, this could move the dates for pension age changes by up to a decade, which would make it impossible for people to plan for their retirement finances. 'Having a rigid rule for setting pension ages creates more volatility and uncertainty than an approach which is more based on judgment and taking into account a wider range of factors.' Catherine Foot, director of the Standard Life Centre for the Future of Retirement, added that any increases would have to be accompanied by policies that helped people to stay in work. The Government has admitted that the previous increase in the state pension age to 66 in the 2010s left 89,000 would-be pensioners languishing on sickness benefits because they were too ill to work. Ms Foot said: 'Working until even the current state pension age is not easy for everyone. The group experiencing the fastest-growing rate of poverty for any working-age adult age group is people aged 60-65, many of whom have fallen out of work due to things like ill health, caring responsibilities or ageism in the labour market. 'Using average life expectancy as the yardstick with which to determine the state pension age inevitably increases inequality and poverty among the pre-retirement population, since it moves the state pension age further away for people who have fallen out of work and are struggling to get back in.'
