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?

Due to the growing number of elderly

people

, attention on benefits after

retirement

is increasing as well. Pension is one of the major benefits of

retirement

.

However

, the eligible

age

is controversial. Many countries have certain

age

rules regard with receiving pensions.

Nevertheless

, from my own perspective, the

age

should be more flexible for each and every individual. Particularly for those who have a job that requires a high level of physical activity.

To begin

with, every family and individual has a different life and family plan.

Therefore

it does not sound sensible to make

people

retire at a certain

age

. It should have a reasonable period, so

people

can decide when to retire along with their plans.

For example

, if the rule allows

people

can receive their pension between the

age

of 60 to 70,

then

people

can plan their lives after

retirement

with flexibility as well as they can utilise to the fullest extent. Particularly, there are some

jobs

such

as trade, hospitality, athletes which require diverse physical activities. Because of the features of

jobs

, it is hard for workers to work until

age

65.

In other words

, it is physically impossible to keep working and make income with those

jobs

when

people

are old, whereas

such

as office

jobs

are easy to maintain regardless of

age

.

That is

to say, for those

jobs

have feasible reasons, the

age

rule must be easied. In conclusion, having a set

age

rule for

retirement

and pension is considered unreasonable. Respecting different life plans and job features, it is plausible to have a flexible period, so it provides

people

with a chance to establish their own

retirement

plans.
