Summary

This quote highlights the financial limitations faced by pensioners who are no longer able to work. Unlike those in the working age group, retirees lack the option of increasing their income. This can be attributed to their inability to participate in the workforce due to age-related limitations. The quote suggests that retired individuals, who heavily rely on their pension, do not have the opportunity to supplement their income through employment, which sets them apart from those who can still work and potentially increase their earnings.
