The average life expectancy is increasing, therefore there is an ever increasing ageing population which need to be paid for - pensions, nhs, social care, etc. Therefore we all need to work for longer and pay earlier into our pensions.
Germans may well get a better pension but they generally don’t own their homes and have rent controls so will not be as asset rich as Brits.
