 to any age they like has been raising a lot of debates. Some might say that
this
 has many detrimental effects when the old still continue working
such
 as their health, unproductive and so on.
On the contrary
, others insist on the opinion that citizens can do their job for a long time as long as they want, it can bring them money to pay for their lives. Viewing from a general perspective, I personally agree with the former opinion for the following reasons.
to begin
 with, ageing makes inhabitants decline their sagacity rapidly and it leads to a lot of risks in their job rather than when they were young.
Firstly
, their health can not allow them to keep working when they get older because they will get some disease
such
 as memory loss, diabetes which can destroy themself if they do not care for it.
For example
, a human who is over 60 years old very easily gets sick like diabetes or heart attack, they should give time for preventing their body from these diseases by usually doing exercise like yoga or walking
instead
 of continuing working.
Secondly
,the strength and agility of the old

 and sometimes they will make a mistake that affects their companies.
For instance
,

 age, a human is no longer agile and elite to finish anything well, they just do

 it makes their companies affected and unproductive .
Finally
, if the government give the old person the right to

 the young generation
on the other hand
, some of the population think that senior citizens can
work
 diligently and carefully,
besides
 they will have more experience in their major which can substantially help them to give advice for the development of the companies.
moreover
, they are still working while they can make their own money which pays for their living costs and they do not need to depend on anyone else.
