Nowadays people usually retire at the age of 60 or 65, but some want to keep working as long as they can. Is this a positive or a negative development? Give you own opinion and relevant examples.

It is commonly observed that the majority of the population around the world retires when they become sixty years old.

However

, some of them still prefer to continue serving the society

instead

of staying at home. I see

this

as a positive change and it would certainly have many benefits to the world. If older generation continues to work, they would not be an excessive burden on the shoulders of the younger generation. According to statistics, the average age of people is increasing around the world, especially in the developed countries like Canada, Australia and Japan. When these people retire at their sixties, youngsters have to bear their social benefits.

This

would definitely a disadvantageous situation to the future generation.

Thus

, we should allow our elders to work and contribute to the GDP of the country, as long as their health supports them and they have will to do so. Other than financial perspective, there would be social benefits to elders if they continue working.

Firstly

, they could act as a role model or guide to youth

in

the workplace which will provide them self-satisfaction.

For instance

, In Japan, many people who are

in

their sixties prefer to go workplace and want to make themselves useful.

Secondly

, they would be healthier if they continue to have social interaction in the office. Studies have shown that retirees who kept themselves engaged within the social by working or doing volunteer work are healthier than their peers staying at old homes. All in all, more and more people are opting to continue their career in their early sixties, I firmly believe that

this

is a positive development.

This

will not only strength the economy of the country, but

also

keep elders in a perfect health.
