The idea is that if you give them enough warning they can both pay for the parent's and grand parent's retirements but they can start saving up for their own. It is all a bullshit kick the can way to address the problem. It is easy to say to a 28 year old he will have to work a few more years, he doesn't really yet believe he will get old. When he is 65 with bad back he might feel differently.
