Some believe that people should not continue to work once they reach the age of retirement. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your experience.

In recent years, With improvement in the healthcare system and the people’s standard of living, people are able to live longer and contribute to the nation’s economy by working for long years. Few people believe

this

is a positive development, while others are of opposite view.

However

, I support to

work

for long years as long as the

person

is fit and healthy for the

work

. On the one hand, delaying

retirement

allows a

person

to actively contribute to the society. On an Individual level,

this

not only helps to remain physically fit but

also

mentally strong and active.

Moreover

,

this

helps a

person

to become financially independent even after the

retirement

and leads to a better life.

Besides

this

, some countries

such

as Singapore, promotes and allows elderly to

work

on their suitable task according to their health level and capabilities,

such

add up to the nation’s economy positively.

On the other hand

, Due to

age

, sometimes working beyond the limit affects the health adversely.

In addition

, even though there are major benefits of mental health of working after

retirement

age

, but number of time it leads to

stress

and elderly people are mostly not capable to handle the

stress

well.

For instance

, suicidal cases have been recently increased in Japan for

work

stress

in old people.

Besides

this

, the negative physical aspects of older people may affect the productivity badly, which affects the company and government. To put

this

in a nutshell, I pen down, saying that,

although

there are several negative aspects including productivity and

stress

amongst elderly who

work

after

retirement

age

, if a

person

is capable for the task he or she can

work

at any

age

and become happy and healthy.
