It 's hard for the' baby boomers', those born after the war, the children of the 'great generation' that defeated Nazism and fascism in the Second War World: After you pulled the wagon for at least forty-Italic exception the 'baby-pensionati' now it prepares to retire, or that we have just left, they discover that will take care of themselves for the rest of their days, because working children and grandchildren who are, at best, precarious, are few and can not certainly bear the burden of their old and, moreover, could withstand up to a hundred years, given the increases in life expectancy. They 'because the' baby boomers' are just so many: they are the largest ever generation into the world of Old Europe and America, the result delll'energia and optimism of the survivors of war and the need to bridge the gaps the conflict.
But is it true? Cosi ', at least, thinks Lord Warner, Adviser to the Government of His Majesty the premier conservative David Cameron, in charge-aihnoi, aihloro indeed, the British-to draw up a draft reform of health care for the elderly: Lord Warner says, he writes as if the Telegraph is right, that "it would be unfair to expect that those who work pay the bill for the health of aging parents" and that, therefore, are likely to need treatment. And since the 'baby boomers' "fared pretty well" in their lives and, perhaps, with the work, also have put aside something, bought a house, must now be prepared to spend what they have set aside to afford medicine and doctors. And maybe to sell the house to pay for a place at the hospice, when can no longer fend for themselves, nor their children will accurdirli, because they have made a few and those few will be committed to work very well over 65 years to earn living.
Now, at first glance, the ideas of Lord Warner should not get very far, because it penalizes both the old and almost their children, you will see the private family home on which, perhaps, had some thoughts. But the problem of reforming the pension system present in all European countries as the United States and anywhere there is a very large generation retiring and who hope, or incubation, where Lord Warner box is checked, to live longer, even much longer, of his fathers, with millions of potential centenarians Arzilli more or less.
The problem arise when the individual countries, too often resorting to drastic increases in retirement age, so 'lengthens the period of payment of contributions es'accorcia to use: they have already made Britain and France, Germany and Italy, in a partial and insufficient, especially Sweden and Denmark, where those who enter the labor market today is likely to change as more than 70 years.
Fortunately, in Europe the position of Lord Warner does not appear major. Just yesterday, the European Parliament, in plenary session, an overwhelming majority, has called on EU states to ensure that the social security system to ensure an adequate income in the long run the growing number of pensioners and addressing the issues of portability of pensions and social inequalities that weighs in particular on women. Popular and the Socialists agreed, the Assembly has so 'as the backing to a European Commission Green Paper entitled encouraging,' Towards a system of adequate pensions, durable and safe in Europe '. Mandiamone a copy to Lord Warner (incidentally, the British Conservatives voted against it), waiting for heads of state and government of 27 ministers and their economy decide how to translate it into practice.
