If you want to keep the final salary scheme, you have to contribute more into it.

The plan is to make retirement age 68 for all. The firefighters retirement age will be 60, but as I keep saying, if you aren't fit enough to be operational at 59 (which most people won't be), then you can be sacked. And then you can't claim your pension until you are 68.

So for a small business which makes say 100k profit. Two shareholders who pay themselves a salary of 50k and take say a dividend of 25k each. This leaves them with 50k which they put back into the business.
How exactly can they afford to pay a final salary pension for how every many employees?

What dividends? .You have to realise that not every company issues shares .Small companies with maybe 10 employees will not issue shares and pay dividends and no way could they afford to contribute to pensions.
Why do think that people start companies Alan ?

Because Alan thinks the owners should be paid a basic wage the same as everybody else .The owners may have spent all their own money starting the company ,they may keep 10 people in good productive employment but they are company owners so by default are the very Devil themselves .He fails to realise that not all company owners are rolling around in wads of cash ,in fact, in my experience many are deep in dept

Sorry, your statement appears contradictory.
It appears to be stating "everyone will retire at 68, except firemen, who will retire at 60" - am I misunderstanding something?

To make money, businesses small and large will have to accept less profits in the future
