The way I see it there are three realistic choices a country can make.
-
Raise the pension age. Not very popular with the public as illustrated by protests everywhere this has been mentioned.
-
Increased migration. Not very popular with the public as seen by the rise of far right parties in both Europe and outside.
-
Lowered living standards. Not very popular because who wants to pay the same taxes but get less out of it?
This isn’t a UK problem. It’s the entire western world. And no, the populist idea of “just have more kids” doesn’t solve it.
Any ideas?
