The ratio of aged pensioners versus working population needs to state the assumptions in regard to retirement age changes and part time working (See Ageing key to population policy: report, July 22).

A ratio of 2.7 means nothing, as government policy can change that through changes to tax and pension entitlement. Retirement is only a recent concept – to me it just means a change in what type of work you wish to take up.
