A review of the State Pension age could see young people working into their mid-70s according to some experts. The review is expected to consider changes in life expectancy and what the government calls 'wider changes in society,' to ensure the tax payer can afford to fund the State Pension. The pensions minister, Conservative peer Ros Altmann, told Ritula Shah on BBC Radio 4's World Tonight programme that in the future having just one pension age may not be enough.
