But its complicated though isnt it ...as imagine you know
UK is largely a flat rate... other countries arent therefore skewed by rich pensioners
UK historically has had an expectation of people putting money into their own pension pots where some of those comparables eg I believe the likes of Spain or France they dont save anything
You can go on ... Germans dont have high house ownership, how does that compare to UK pensioners using equity release from homes bought cheaply years ago
Either way in simple terms lets say Economy goes down by 15% one year then up by 9% next year (partial bounce back) .. on triple lock pensioner gets 2.5% and 9% whereas the taxpayer loses 15% then gain 9%.... no sure many young folk would see that as fair as they scrimp and save for a deposit.
