The problem, as I see it, is not so much income inequality but wealth inequality.
Those pensioners typically live in extremely valuable homes, thanks to the massive rise in house prices (caused by the reduction in social housing). Rent costs follow.
The working-age members of society are struggling because of the cost of keeping their homes. The consequences ripple out across society.
