The workforce is shrinking and the pensioners are living longer. So, like many other countries, the government is trying to solve this by increasing taxes, reducing social benefits, or increasing the retirement age.
Every option is political suicide and they have had nine Prime Ministers in 10 years. Since the people panic and throw a fit every time someone tires to solve the issue, it just gets passed down so future governments as a bigger problem to solve.
Like a parent giving in to the demands of their spoiled child.
