penally.
I think I missed your point...wouldn't it make sense for industry to want young cheap workers in to replace the expensive old timers that are bed blocking?
I know my airline is tearing its hair out at the extra unplanned costs of pilots staying on past retirement age.
As for the rest of society, I do believe that the Western governments think that the scrapping of retirement ages and encouraging of people to stay on in work is going to bail them out of the pensions and demographics time bomb .
If one was cynical, you may ask yourself who makes up the largest demographic in Western society and who tends to turn out to vote....the elderly or the young?
