It is the young and the middleaged who do most work and pay most taxes. In other words, it is they who keep the country going, for it is the ine from taxes that pays for public services and state benefits. The lack of balance between the number of the young and the old is, thus, very worrying in financial terms. There are too few people working to provide the necessary funds to pay for a state benefit system which looks after those who are, for one reason or another, unable to work. One rather harsh solution is to increase greatly the rate of taxation payable by those who are in work. Another is to increase the age of retirement, and yet another is to try to attract healthy people who are already in retirement back to work. None of these solutions may appeal to those concerned, but some kind of successful strategy has to be found. Otherwise society will collapse. 32.
