Some say that because many people are living much longer, the age at which people retire from work should be raised considerably.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is an irrefutable fact that over the

last

years, life expectancy has considerably grown thanks to advances in medicine and other aspects of human beings' lives.

Thus

, a segment of society believes that the

retirement

age should be extended. I personally do not agree with

this

notion. The following paragraphs will highlight my opinion with relevant examples. To commence with the reasons,

first

and foremost, raising the

retirement

age will not ensure productivity in the workplace. More specifically,

people

in their 60th struggle to do physically demanding tasks. Take,

for example

, construction. Individuals working on the construction site are not able to work as productively as younger

people

.

Additionally

, according to American scientists,

people

after 60 start getting health issues,

such

as diabetes, muscles pain, and problems related to memory drop and many more.

Subsequently

, engaging in intellectually demanding jobs may be challenging for some retirees as well.

Secondly

, delaying

retirement

eligibility risks aggravating the problem of youth unemployment. It is well known that young

people

struggle to find employment.

This

is because employers want to hire candidates with more experience and do not want to spend their funds on training younger employees.

For instance

, many graduates who want to become teachers cannot get their desired position as it is generally occupied by senior employees. To conclude, I am convinced that raising the

retirement

age will lead to more issues related to youth unemployment and inefficient work. Public money should better be spent on society needs rather than showcase projects.
