  4. Looks like the WASPI women might be in for some good news... of course there's many a slip twixt cup & lip, and I wouldn't be banking on the full compensation going through, but it does indicate a potential move in the right direction for those who were disadvantaged by the accelerated rationalisation of pension payments.

  5. There's no surprises here for women in their 60s+.

    Times were different. Class C National Insurance, often no pensions on offer, expectations to stay home, part-time, low pay even in the same jobs as men.

    Women can't catch up on those decades, can't time-travel & build pensions.

    Let's hope future generations of women have equality in retirement.

  7. When people discuss #Labour #disability #benefits, and say, if they stick to the latest thinking, "there would be a 2 tier #benefit system...

    #We already have a 2 tier system for the state #pension and no #Party really #cares?...

  8. Why did UK #statepension age changes affect some groups of women more than others?

    🎙️ Yifan Ge explores the data behind the #WASPI #pension campaign, and what it means for #pensions policy and fairness now and in the future.

  9. 🗞️ New article on #pension reforms in The Conversation UK by Jane Falkingham, Athina Vlachantoni and Yifan Ge:

    "Far from always creating “winners and losers”, #socialpolicy change can be a tool that demonstrates a collective sense of responsibility and adaptability to changing times.

    "The government could play a critical part in evening out gender differences for the #Waspi women – and for the millions of others coming up after them."

  10. #WASPI
    If you declare that 90% of a population have not been harmed/suffered loss/deserve or need compensation for some tort you agree you(r predecessors in government) committed

    then

    you have just declared that 10% did/do.

    And

    if £10 Bn compensation is unaffordable for 100%,

    then

    £1Bn seems a lot more affordable.

    But

    If you advertise that compensation is made available for the worst-affected 10%, apply with this rather short form

    and

    you get 10x as many forms as you expect

    ah

  11. Ian Murray, Labour MP for Morningside in Edinburgh is inviting complaints from WASPI women who feel they've been denied justice.

    I hope he is inundated.

    I'm sure the date of 2019 is neither here nor there...

  12. #WASPI fight is valid. Men born in the #50s & #60s didn't stop #work for #babies, they built #private & #StatePension. #Wives were still expected to be at #home a long time after the 1975 #SexDiscrimination Act. For #women, continuous or full-time #employment & #workpensions weren't as expected nowadays. #Women hadn't the same chance to #save for #retirement but their #pensionage is the same. Shouldn't their have been work & #saving #equity before the #age changed?
