Give them to work in what they want to work. Or not.
We still need to be active.
However, why shoudn't they receive for their taxes?
Have you forgotten about all the time and energy loss in paying taxes to the government? Sure, these taxes were also to improve our conditions and of our countries, but they were also for pension funds.
Your apreciation, in my ignorant opinion, is incomplete. Give pensionists occupation, Sane occupation, Free and Whilling occupations, acording their choices, abbilities and vocation...
And, meanwhile, why don't we give it to everyone, in every age? Inspite our survival necessities, why don´t we do what we were born to?
...
Just a thought...

I can’t disagree with you on that, because it’s somewhat what I’ve argued in my blog to do, only thing is that I wouldn’t say “free” occupations, because free for them means that others will still need to pay, and able pensioners should also still have the freedom and dignity to be able to contribute in the (working) society.
To give it “free” to everyone, then you’re talking about some sort of universal income, which is something because of automation and robotization of industries is something that sooner or later will become reality, only thing is that, it still needs to come with some sort of “reward” incentives to keep people actively contributing to societies, because to answer your question of why we don’t do what we were born to?
We were born to do (much) more than just eat, sleep and f*ck, I’m afraid that if we start handing people “free money” most people will just go do those basic things of life and forget about their other potentials.
