This means that older workers will not be forced to retire at 65 and will have an option to stay on after this age.
It is widely supported by workers and employers groups, and the Government says the extra money raised in taxes will be used to help support an ageing population. However there also concerns that some businesses will be left with staff who are too old to do their job.
There will be exemptions for certain professions, like police officers or air traffic controllers.
