ferno Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That will require more explanation because in the context of this discussion I have no idea what your question as to do with anything. How do you think raising the pension age would solve the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We had a million unemployed in 2004 when Poland acceded to the EU, over half a million Poles came here and found work. I know and that’s a problem that needs solving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 How do you think raising the pension age would solve the problem? There will be fewer pensioners needing the support of younger workers, I thing Headingnorth as already pointed that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I know and that’s a problem that needs solving. So you agree that offering employment to unemployed Brits doesn't work? They prefer benefits and Poles do the work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 We had a million unemployed in 2004 when Poland acceded to the EU, over half a million Poles came here and found work. We have structural unemployment. Good for business. Bad for birth rate and society as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 There will be fewer pensioners needing the support of younger workers How many years would you need to raise to meet the shortfall? What sums are you thinking about? Why can't you explain your "solution"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 So you agree that offering employment to unemployed Brits doesn't work? They prefer benefits and Poles do the work? I wouldn't offer it and they would want to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A8 nationals now have access to benefits. I believe you mean Romanians and Bulgarians, but more so the former, and perhaps a few Moldovians.

No, I mean Poles, and no Poles, Romanians or Bulgarians get any benefits if they haven't worked here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
