The government wants to scrap the rule under which people can be forced to retire at 65. Is this a long-overdue change or a measure that might have unintended consequences?

Call You and Yours with Julian Worricker. The government has said it will scrap the rule under which people can be forced to retire at the age of 65. For some this represents a chance to work beyond a fixed cut-off point, enabling them to continue to earn and to contribute to society. But some employers say this change will block jobs for young people at a time of high unemployment. So where do you stand? Is this a long overdue change, or a measure that might have unintended, negative consequences?
