U.S. data are based on official estimates and projections. Population estimates for 1950-1999 are based on the resident population plus the armed forces overseas. Population estimates for 2000-2008 are for the resident population and are based on Census 2000. The estimates are produced using vital statistics through 2007 and survey data on international migration (supplemented with administrative data) through 2007. Population data in the IDB for 2009-2050 are projections of the resident population. The projections originate with a base population from Census 2000 and are produced using a cohort-component method. Projections are based on historical trends in vital statistics data through 2003 and administrative data on legal immigration through 2002.

People are looking to the future and realizing they are responsible for retirement funding. The rising health care cost are providing incentive not to quit work and retire. Depleted savings and 401k funds have extended the retirement ceiling age.

Well...
The retirement-at-65 rules was forced at a time when people really were too old to continue working at that time, but corporations would force them to, so unions compelled government to make it so that corporations were forbidden from hiring people older than 65.
That, in conjuction with pensions, was how unions got some civility in life for the elderly in their time, but things are a bit different now.
First, people are taking better care of themselves, and are staying work-ready longer, plus I know lots of people at 65 who have no desire to retire at all, and if you look at them you can see why, because they are sharp as tacks.
Combine that with the fact that the pension funds haven't been managed the way they were supposed to be, and there's going to be a problem paying everyone if forced to retire at 65, so it's just a fact that those two things combined guarantee that people will be allowed to work beyond 65.
In order to know what the new cutoff date will be, one will have to look at people in their 30's now, and see how they take care of themselves for the next thirty years, which means... ooops, I don't have a tacyon reader, so I can't tell you how people are going to take care of themselves for the next 30 years, so I can't tell you how many will want to work until how old in 2030.
I *can* tell you that if the economy doesn't level out and demonstrate some stability, that the stress is going to start driving life-spans back down again.
