Experts throughout the world have argued that
people
must do jobs for a long period because these days they are existing longer.
This
essay completely disagrees with the statement. In my opinion,
people
are not living a long
life
in
this
generation when compared to the past, at the same time it is not necessary that they have to
work
for an extended period of time throughout their living.
This
essay will discuss my views and my opinion in detail with relevant examples.
Firstly
, today many of us are leading a sedentary lifestyle which is unhealthy.
This
is to say that most of our existence is dependent on convenience foods that are rich in fat and salt which in turn causes serious health issues
such
as heart disease, obesity, and so on.
Therefore
, our lifespan has reduced significantly than in the past.
For instance
, many studies had proved that our overall lifespan had declined to 60 years. These days, it is uncommon to find
people
living in the age of '80s and '90s.
In addition
, due to
this
modern culture,
people
are not interested in hardworking jobs and they are more involved to perform smart jobs to earn a handsome income.
Secondly
, even though they live longer, they are no longer required to
work
for their survival. It is to say that most of them had their self-retirement pension plans that would send money for their needs to continue their living in old age.
Furthermore
, the government in many developed countries had introduced benefit systems for the senior
people
and unemployed masses which they could use to pay for their major
life
expenses.
For example
, some consensual reports had declared that 30% of residents were leading their
life
based on the state benefit system.
As a result
, it is no longer a requirement for
people
to
work
throughout their
life
.
To conclude, an unhealthy lifestyle is not allowing civilians to live longer. Even though they live longer, it is not a need for them to
work
because of the government benefits which would support their living.
