MP's to Rethink Pension Plans for Women

The video discusses the growing complexity of pension calculations as more people require pensions. It highlights the case of Joy Waters, who faces delays in receiving her pension due to government changes. Many women, particularly those who are single, are affected by these changes. The video suggests alternative pension models based on years worked rather than age. However, the government is reluctant to change its stance due to the financial implications. The increasing elderly population and pension costs mean future generations may face further delays in receiving pensions.
