Retiring at the age of 65 has been a widely accepted rule in many nations around the world. Some office workers have been expecting the moment for several years, even longer time in order to fully enjoy their life free of work. While, others may feel frustrated, especially fear of leading a life, with abundant time but knowing little about how to cope with it. Taking both situations into consideration, I strongly believe the mandatory policy, compelling people to retire at the age of 65, is supposed to be abolished.

People are generally not used to a sudden retirement. Having been continuously worked for decades, it is hard to adjust oneself to a completely new living environment. It is an undeniable that most of the time, the retired will try to spend more time staying with their family, fostering new hobbies, talking to old friends. Even though these activities help them get over the initiated discomfit, they cannot essentially get all the retired recovered from the depression of boring meaningless life. More importantly, scientific research provides evidence that the retired are more likely to get older physically and psychologically, compared with their working counterparts. Therefore, keeping at working at an older age is a healthier lifestyle for most people.

Additionally, the aged people still have the energy to contribute to our society. They have cumulated mounts of experience in their working fields. Both the fresh worker and the companies will benefit from the elderly workers if they carry on their work together with the young workers. On the other hand, many nations are experiencing a aging problem. Providing an optional working opportunity may attract many old people to insist in their job for another several years. This certainly will relieve the emergent problem, lacking of working force, faced by many authorities.

In conclusion, a compulsory retirement seems to be not the best option for both individuals and the whole society. A more flexible mechanism which provides the old people with an chance to better enjoy their retirement life may seems to be more appropriate.

Most countries impose a labor rule that employees whether in private sectors or government offices are entitled to have their retirement once they reach 65 years old. Some people feel that this rule should be strictly enforce, however, other people think that it should be optional and they should be given a chance to decide for themselves. This essay will examine whether it should be obligatory to all workers who reached 65 years of age to refrain in working.

There are numerous reasons why some people find it necessary to strictly implement a rule for retirement age. The first reason is that according to research conducted by World Health Organization the lifespan of human being nowadays will range between 50 and 70 years old. It is highly advisable that those people that reached the retirement age should enjoy the rest of their life with their love ones. They should find time together with their family to enjoy the nature as well, by visiting exciting and fascinating wonders of nature such as tranquil and magnificent mountains, white-sand beaches and serene farms. Secondly, many old workers have very slow performance and hesitate to venture in innovation because they want to avoid risk and prefer to be conservative. Because of this, we should provide an avenue for young and dynamic people to contribute in the society by allowing them to assume the position that old workers are about to leave. Furthermore, most old workers have sickness like hypertension, diabetes, arthritis and other body pains that cause them to absent from their work and become inefficient. If those people are holding key positions and having health related problems, that will surely have detrimental effects to the society and economy.

On the other hand, some workers does not have family to share their remaining years and they opted to continue working rather than spending the rest of their life waiting for their final days sitting and eating inside their house. They want and very much willing to continue in contributing to the society because they find enjoyment on their career and they become more energetic doing the jobs that they are used to do. Another important point is that all people were affected by global economic crisis. Therefore, they need to continue working in order to support their family especially those who still have children that are still studying. Lastly, there are countries like Japan, Switzerland and Sweden who have more old citizens than young ones. If they will be forced to stop working once they reach their retirement age, it will totally impede the growth of economy.

In conclusion, I can find valid reasons for both arguments. However, I do not think that age should force old people to stop with their career. I firmly believe that we should give chance to old workers to choose whether they are willing to continue or to retire.

  The common controversy prevailing now is whether to retire employee at 65 years or to increase their age limit. In my opinion, I recommend that compulsory retirement is good at age 65. There are many reasons to consider before coming to a reasoned conclusion.

  The most important reason is the decline in the workers' performance at older ages. People loose their efficiency in developing their skills and knowledge when they grow older. They might not be enthusiastic to update their knowledge. For instance, a surgeon aged 60+ cannot concentrate and finish surgeries as quicker and finer as they were young. This clearly implies that age factor hinders them from doing efficient jobs.

  Additionally, the highest position in the jobs are usually occupied by the experienced employees. So the younger population with advanced knowledge and skills, are not recognised and appreciated due to their unemployment. The newer generation are energetic and dynamic to perform the given task. This would help improving the quality and profit of the companies. Thus the compulsory retirement of older employees provides jobs for many talents young people.

  Finally, the last decades of a man's life is more delicate which must be spent peacefully. Old people indulging in loads of work can suffer from stress related illnesses like hypertension, stroke, heart diseases. Thus to keep themselves healthy, they can spend leisure time with their loved ones at home and enjoy travelling around with their family.

  Although there are reasons supporting retirement of old employees aged 65, few among them have fear of being isolated or neglected after their retirement. To overcome this, both private and government sectors must provide better pension allowances to care themselves.
