Abolish Two-tiered State Pension System in Favor of a Single Top Tier System
Abolish Two-tiered State Pension System in Favor of a Single Top Tier System
The Issue
The state pension system currently rewards pensioners differently, leading to discrepancies in the amount received by beneficiaries. This system, known as the two-tiered state pension system, creates a significant gap in the economic wellbeing of our senior citizens. A 2019 report from the National Pensioner Convention (NPC) reveals that such a design contributes to a situation where nearly two million pensioners live below the poverty line. This is a stark call for change. We demand the abolishment of the two-tiered state pension system in favor of a single, top-tier system for all pensioners. This action will guarantee that every pensioner receives equal and deserving pensions, thus ensuring dignity in their old age. Stand up against pension inequality by signing this petition and demand fair treatment for all pensioners.
