age of retirement delayed is good or bad?

seems all the europe put off the age of retirement in order to make up for the insufficiency of the money for pension , is it good? or does it really can change or better this financial problem on pension..or only it is a comfort to the general people...look at the high jobless rate for young people in europe...especially in spain, it is not a news..around 18% jobless rate would really increase the social problem and stability...we dont worry about the retired people ..those old generation most of them were much well educated than the new generation espeically new immigration..if they delayed their retirements..one side of course they could keep contribute to the society the other side reduce the chances to the young people...when young people and the new immigration have no job,...the whole society will getting unstable ....
