Britain's workers can look forward to the worst state pension of any major country, according to a report by the developed world’s leading economic think tank. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) study calculated that a typical British worker will at retirement receive a state pension and other benefits worth around 20% of what they had previously been earning. That compares with an average of 63% in other OECD countries, and more than 80% in Italy and the Netherlands. The report said this expected “net replacement rate" will be the lowest of any OECD country. The UK population is ageing rapidly, has relatively high levels of poverty among the over-75s, and amueh bigger problem with obesity in old age, said the OECD, with 20% of British over-8os classified as obese, compared with 15% in the US and under 10% in Italy. The TUC general secretary, Frances O'Grady, said: “Working people in Britain face the biggest retirement cliff edge of any developed nation. We are letting down today's workers if we can't provide them with a decent retirement income.” However, on some measures Britain's pension system is performing better than many other OECD countries. The OECD noted that the new single-tier pension (currently £159.55) will be worth 30% more than the old state pension (currently £122.30) but added, “there is a long transition period and current retirees will not see a difference”. 29.The passage states that a British worker at the time of retirement will ‘A.

After all, check out all the benefits exercise offers beyond weight loss, But Mary Cushman, MD, (professor of medicine at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont), presented evidence at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2017 that it's less ahont the exercise you do, but more about how active you are generally: People who live a sedentary lifestyle, even if they mect exercise nidelines, have an elevated risk of blood clots in the legs—and thase clots can have life- Hieesitecinmnanee Dr. Cushman explained how blood clots develop: “The veins are bringing blood back to the heart after arteries have given oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. It's particularly difficult for the veins in the legs to do their job, because they have to bring the blood up against gravity.” The body relies on leg muscles fo push the blood back from the legs to the heart, says Dr. Cushman. Ifthe legs are immobile for hours at a time, the blood can begin ta clot, leading to venous thromboembolism (VTE). Though there are other risk factors for VTE—surgery, tranmatic injury, cancer—simply sitting for extended periods can be a primary cause.
