Some people believe that if people are allowed to work after the age of 60, it will cause some problems. Do you agree or disagree?

Admittedly, the active engagement of work at older ages is beneficial in some respects. First of all, if people work after retirement, they do not have dependence on others for living in good conditions. For example, if older generations get salary regularly, they can buy things that they want or even they can provide their family fully and continue to enjoy life without living like handicapped person at their older ages. Another crucial aspect of it is that as everyone accepted, if people who work for a long time retired suddenly from their job, they tend to feel depressed and lose their interest towards life. Hence, when people can work after the age of 60, they tend not to lose their hope for living and they have some type of motivation that encourages them to live with a sense of enjoyment and excitement. In this way, they might stay healthy both mentally and physically for the rest of their life. After all, working in older ages can bring about some special benefits.
