I don’t get this protest, the retirement age is moving from 62 to 64. Most of the world is 65-68.

Average lifespan is increasing. You either have to increase retirement age or increase how much you pay into retirement.

What the fuck is the point of working for your whole life to improve your lot, if you're gonna get punished by being forced to working the few extra good years you've earned?

You either have to pay more in retirement pension or work longer if your average lifespan keeps getting longer.

Because if you don’t you won’t be able to live on your pension when you are in retirement.

I get your reasoning but 62 is low for retirement age.
