Pension age 'could be increased to 70'

Employees could be forced to work until they are 70 years old in a bid to clear the increasing national debt, a new report has suggested.

According to accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, the government needs to "swiftly" increase the state pension age if there is to be any hope of resolving the financial crisis.

In addition, the firm has suggested a further £20 billion in tax rises or spending cuts will be needed to eradicate the debt, which has left many families in difficult situations.

Director general of charity Ros Altmann has highlighted the inevitability of longer working lives for UK employees to ensure they are able to fund care in old age.

"It is fantastic news that people are living longer but the rest of the system has not caught up," she told the Daily Mail.

This report comes after members of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers took part in striking action amid proposals to reduce public sector pensions.
