The State Pension age(s)
Hi,
Question:
1) There are 2 numbers (60 and 65) in the sentence, why do we use "age , but not ages" ?
2) When will we use state pension ages?
Sentence:
Currently, the state pension age is 60 for women and 65 for men.
Source of the sentence:

Line18
Thanks

You could use 'ages', but obviously the writer was thinking of one definite age for each ***.

I think the sentence needs to be cleaned up a bit (pension doesn't have an age):
The minimum age to receive the pension is 60 for women and 65 for men.
The minimum age to receive the pension is 60 for women and 65 for men.
