Age Action has re-iterated its calls for fair and flexible pensions. It comes after a new report suggested workers should be allowed defer their retirement until they are 75 years of age. The move would allow them make additional PRSI contributions to boost their pensions.
Carrickmacross native and head of Advocacy at Age Action Celine Clarke says ageism is an issue when it comes to people planning their retirement.
We also need to look at what kind of employment are we in, so we need to address ageism in the workplace, the way we are hired, retained in old age and we are seeing an increase in cases going to the workplace commission over age discrimination.
