With the pension age rising slowly, the proposal aims to ease financial hardship for those unable to work, highlighting how the burden falls unequally and warning that pushing older workers longer harms both health and finances. The push is for a short-term fix by 2026 to buy time for a lasting solution, stressing fairness across generations and support for those facing real-life barriers.
