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? Give reason for your answer and include relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In democracy, people have the right to make their own choices and decide what is best for them. In that regard, any law that curtails their freedom of expression is treated as draconian and rejected unanimously. One

such

instance is the idea of freezing a working life of a person to 65 irrespective of their job domain. Earlier, they used to perform until the

last

day of their job, some even extending it, but today they want to retire much earlier without foregoing the benefits. I agree with their viewpoint and I will be justifying it with reasons and examples in my essay.

Firstly

, the ability of a person to give his best depends on one thing: Physiology. To elaborate, the physiology of a human being gradually decreases with time. To illustrate, bones become weaker, eyesight reduces, lifestyle disorders like diabetes, blood pressure increases, overall energy level reduces drastically.

Secondly

, an employee’s interest and desire play a pivotal role in his willingness to continue until the end.

For instance

, some of them want to continue until 50 and later take voluntary time-out, from their profession, to pursue their passion. In

such

scenarios, forcing them to work seems like an irrational ask.

However

, the law has the right to decide whether to give pension in both cases or only to one.

Lastly

, ideal job categories to avail

air force

. Both professions are severely impacted by physiological changes. It is hard to see a 50-year-old playing professional football or cricket or flying a fighter jet.

Moreover

, there are many countries, including India, who have already reduced the

retiral

age, along with an implementation of a voluntary pullout scheme. To conclude, the concept of keeping the pullout age flexible is going to stay. A voluntary pullout option is ideal for employees who are keen to follow their passion. Reduction in the age,

as a result

of physiological changes, is ideal for the sports-person and defence personnel, with later enjoying the benefits of a perpetual pension.
