Saga chief makes case for pensions calculator change

The government is right to scrap the default retirement age, according to a senior source at Saga.

Dr Ros Altmann, director general of the organisation, suggested people must have longer working lives if the UK is going to escape from its pensions crisis.

She claimed it is a huge waste of resources to assume someone is "past it" when they surpass a certain age.

Dr Altmann urged employers to judge whether a person can still do a job on an individual basis rather than relying on an arbitrary figure.

"The default retirement age should have been abolished years ago. The timetable must certainly not slip," the Saga chief remarked.

In her opinion, it is not fair on workers to tell them that they must stop their employment at a certain age and this constitutes a form of ageism.

Her sentiments were echoed by Pimlico Plumber founder Charlie Mullins, who told Fresh Business Thinking that age should not dictate whether or not someone is capable of doing a job.
