just 1.6 per cent compared to the long-run trend of 3.6 per cent annual increases. Austerity has meant longer waiting times and increases in life expectancy have slowed. This is essentially one response to an ageing population: the rationing of care, and the slowing of rising life expectancy, as the Marmot Review into health inequalities in England documented.
Johnson’s social care plan, announced last September, addresses one issue only: that some older people may have to sell their home to fund care. Just because we’re living longer doesn’t mean we can work longer. Many jobs are simply too physical for most people to continue doing into their late 60s or 70s – including physically-demanding care work.

French President Emmanuel Macron is proposing to raise the state pension age from 62 to 65, but is facing huge resistance. France also has better life expectancy, with French women living an average three years longer than their British counterparts.that there are three options: to decrease the value of the state pension, to increase taxes or to raise the pension age.
