In this article published today on BBC website, Manuela Saragossa notes the challenges of retiring induced by longevity. As life expectancy increases and the Baby Boomer generations reach retiring age, "sources of income in old age other than those from pension systems would have to be considered" in many OECD countries.

The author overturns stereotypes on retired people, showing that all of them are not frail and telling that "this idea that the young are independent and the old are dependent is a gross simplification".
