The rate of increase has slowed to a near stop, it hasn't reversed, and next year's figures will be interesting. It is still true to say that people are expected to live longer than at any previous time. Also, the headline figure is for life expectancy at birth - a much more useful figure (and hopefully the one that the Government uses) would be life expectancy at state retirement age.
An 18 year-old man, who writes himself off in a car accident or a drug overdose has a relatively large statistical impact on the headline life-expectancy figures, but no impact whatsoever on the tax-input versus pension-output calculation.0
