Petition Action

Reduce time of life worked/reduce pension age to 50

Petition Details

Reduce time of life worked for example working Monday-Thursday or other 4 day working week/reduce pension age to 50 so people have life to enjoy not to suffer working until around 70 years old

Additional Information

Life is for living not over working. A lot of people do not even live to current retirement age and this needs to change. The government tax a huge amount from workers to fund things that do not even benefit the worker like the royal family and welfare for people that refuse to work at all, this also needs to change.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure if you'd like a law setting the maximum number of days that can be worked per week, or something else. Petitions also have to be about something that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
