Abstract

The article looks at longevity and the pension age. It is noted that the rich tend to live longer than the poor, making a universal age of retirement inherently unfair, as the poor receive fewer years to enjoy retirement. The reasons behind the gap between the life expectancies of the rich and poor are explored, such as different levels of access to health care and lifestyle choices around tobacco use and eating habits.
