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 reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Currently, almost all governments around the world set a fixed

retirement

age

for everyone in every profession, usually about 65 years. It is argued that

this

is unfair when some employees want to have an early

retirement

.

Due to

the different requirements of each occupation, I totally believe that we should have more options in choosing when we want to retire. First of all, there should be an earlier
