People with physical jobs struggling to reach pension age | ABC NEWS

For some Australians, continuing to work until the pension age of 67 can be a struggle.

Physically demanding jobs such as traditional trades, nursing or aged care can mean some workers are forced to retire well before the pension age, which can result in financial and health hardships.

Reforms to the one-size-fits-all approach to the age pension could include staggered pension ages, occupation-specific provisions or partial pensions for those unable to continue to work full time.
