Part-time work can help people defer their pensions. For example, if someone were eligible to collect a pension at age sixty-two but they deferred those payments, they could earn a much higher income later.

The benefits of deferring pension withdrawals apply to most corporate defined benefit pensions. They also apply to most state-sponsored plans, such as the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), the UK state pension, and America’s Social Security. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

The average time of death after stopping eating and drinking is about 7 days, though 8% lived for more than 2 weeks. The last days of life were rated as peaceful, with low levels of pain and suffering, even more so than a physician-assisted death. [2023] - Michael Greger
