Except what happens when you increase the same retirement age for farmers, construction workers, software developers, and teachers? The software developers and the teachers work more with their minds than with their bodies. The farmers and construction workers (putting aside the possibility that their age makes them less productive in physical labor and less likely to find jobs in their fields) would be at much higher risk for onsite injury, and who’s going to pay for that?
