I am deeply concerned by the Supreme Court’s decision regarding mandatory retirement dates after reading this article. http://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/pensions/supreme-court-rejects-retirement-age-discrimination-complaint/1050280.article My concerns are that talented people will not be in a position to work. With all of the student and mortgage debt and the low rates of return on annuities many people are going to need to work past the state pension age. The only valid reason for such discrimination would be if there were age related health problems like dementia which would prevent the employee from executing a satisfactory job. Age seems to be one of the last few prejudices which do not have adequate protections.rnrnThis information is intended to provide a general review of certain topics and its purpose is to inform but not to recommend or support any specific investment or course of action.
