Many countries are facing a potential crisis in 20 to 30 years time. The ratio of pensioners to workers will be changing drastically with a declining birth rate, with more lengthy education of the young, and with a reduced working life. In general, the number of people paying into pension schemes is decreasing all the time. Meanwhile, with increased health care and living standards, more people are living long enough to draw their pension funds.

A controversial solution to this problem has been proposed in Germany-changing the age of retirement, for both men and women, from the current qualifying age of 63 for men and 60 for women.

Assuming the following were all socially acceptable, which one would not improve the situation in the future ?

• Lower the retirement age. A
• Decrease the school-leaving age. B
• Impose larger contributions on employees and employers. C
• Cut pensions in half. D
• Only give state pensions to retired persons whose income in below a certain level. E
