Make the retirement age for men and women the same.
Men die on average about four years earlier than women. Yet they retire five years later. This is an inequality that needs to be resolved in a modern 'equal opportunities for all' country like Great Britain.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Parliament has already passed legislation to equalise the state pension age. You can find out more about this here:

If you would like these changes to be implemented more quickly, you could start a petition asking for that.
