to think some occupations should have a lower retirement age then others?

Thinking of jobs that are more physical, or people have to stand on their feet all day?

67 is quite old to be working 12 hours paid (13 hours including the unpaid break) and be on your feet all day.

What do others think? Maybe people who work in occupations that involve standing on your feet all day could be moved to more sit down jobs as they got older?

Cheaper than someone constantly on sick leave on full pay and the cost of covering for them otherwise they wouldn't exist. I agree there will be adjustments to roles in the first place though.

Cant comment for the rest of the public sector but the sick policy in the nhs and police has really tightened up over the last few years. So that doesn't go on so much now. Thankfully.
