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

Recently, the debate on allowing people to

work

after the age of 60 has become heated. As far as I am concerned, I do not think that

this

would cause problems for younger.

Firstly

, the employment rate of the youngsters might not be directly affected. Some people might claim that when the elderly can

work

for a longer time, the job places for the younger generation would decrease.

However

, in many countries,

for example

Hong Kong and Singapour, the elderly are usually doing some low-skilled

work

like guards and drivers. Because of the education inflation, many young people nowadays might not be willing to apply for these jobs,

therefore

, the prolonging the working time for the those elderly would not affect the job opportunities for the younger.

Secondly

, allowing the elderly to

work

for a longer time might reduce young people's

burden

. Since many elderly might need to live on the subsidy when they get retired, elderly in some countries with high cost of living like Hong Kong, or elderly in some developing countries like Vietnam, might not have enough capital for living after their retirement.

Therefore

,

this

might increase their children's

burden

or even the

burden

for the taxpayers.

As a result

, lengthening the working period for the elderly can ease the social's

burden

. To summarize, allowing people to

work

after the age of 60 might not only not have a dire effect on the employment rate of the young people, but

also

can help ease the social

burden

.

Therefore

, we should be willing to embrace

this

situation. After analysis

this

problem, I think the trend for working after the 60s might be prevailed.
