But they will only pay for yours if you do “enough” to pay for the previous generation in terms of qualifying years.

That’s because you’re technically not paying for your own pension. You pay for the current pension then the next generation will pay for yours.
Whole thing needs an overhaul but I wouldn’t trust any of them to do it correctly
