Pensioners

• • Longer life expectancy means that people have to live off pensions for longer
• • Low income jobs do not provide good pensions so they will struggle while in the job financially as well as when they are a pensioner - may lead to poor health - not able to afford nutritious food, exercise or other things to stay healthy 
• • May have healthcare to pay for - pension may not cover all costs to live healthy  
• • Living off a percentage of the money they made in their working years saved for when they retire - they may have been in poverty while earning as they may have had a low income job and they were saving for retirement but they then can struggle with poverty again as a pensioner as they may not get enough
• • Ageism - may be discriminated against
