AGEING populations in industrialised countries will set off a pensions “time bomb”, with the ranks of retirees swelling over the next 50 years. The impact on public finances will be like a tidal wave of personal finance destruction. The politicians have no plan in place to lessen this blow. The particulars may vary by State, Country, or Corporation, but the challenge is much the same across the industrial world, people over 65 will swell by 70million and the working-age population will grow by only 5million over the next 25 years. Any way you do the math it's a really big problem.
