Some people think that having a set retirement age (e.g. 65 years) for everybody, regardless of occupation, is unfair. They believe that certain workers deserve to retire and receive a pension at an earlier age. Do you agree or disagree? Which types of workers do you think should benefit from early retirement?

I somewhat agree with the statement, that

retirement

age

should be different for different sets of occupations. There are some occupations that require more physical strength compared to others,

for example

a construction worker, a sports player or a military personnel. In

such

jobs a person may not fit to perform his/her duties till the

age

of 65 or may perform but with a lesser strength. In

such

cases it is unfair for the person to toil till the

age

of 65 to start getting

government

benefits as a pensioner.

Also there

Also, there

may be certain people who feel that they have worked enough before the

age

of 65 years and

also

saved and invested sufficient money for themselves. Or there may be some people who face gross medical conditions rendering them unfit to work daily in an office environment or commute distances to reach their workplace. In both

such

cases, people may want or need to retire earlier than the set

age but

age, but

it would lead to losing their pension benefits. But

on the other hand

, from

Government's point

Suggestion

the Government's point

of view I beg to differ with the idea. If the

retirement

age

would be set differently for various job types, it would become very tedious for the

government

officials keep a track of retired people and their rightful benefits. It may

also

lead to tampering of information about the nature of the work the citizens themselves, which the officials would have to investigate into,

thus

increasing their already existing workloads manifolds. In conclusion, the

government

can allow different

retirement

age

standards for different types of jobs for its citizens to promote a positive outlook towards work culture. In doing so it can mandate the

age

figures beforehand for the various job categories to reduce its own workload or it can provide an option of a voluntary

retirement

scheme

retirement

scheme for people wherein the citizens can declare to start their

retirement

and whatever

age

they want to. The

government

can restrict or provide the pension benefits on a pro-rata basis in

such

cases.
