You have a very rose tinted view of the system. The retirement age has
been raised to save costs at that time. And to get people to pay into the
system for longer.

Just because people live longer does not necessarily mean they are fit to
work to a greater age.

Depends on the type of work.

Exactly the same thing applies to the unemployed. Not everyone can do the
same sort of job.
