When there is discussion on retirement, some
people
 think that countries with high unemployment should lower the retirement
age
 to give more opportunities to the young generation to get jobs.
This
 statement has its own rewards and detriments. Both the merits
as well as
 detriments are elaborated
in

 the upcoming write-ups. Discussing the gains, the foremost one is that, the new generations get opportunities to work and prove their capabilities and to showcase their skills, like when a young person gets a high-value job with powers, he/she may be good at understanding the new generation, so he/she could do the job with high potential and that person could influence many
people
. Another benefit is that by reducing the retirement
age
 the aged
people
 could enjoy their life and they could live peacefully.
However
, where there are advantages there are a few disadvantages
also
, so when talking about disadvantages,
Firstly
, If the old and experienced enough
people
 would retire at an early
age
then
, there will be no one left to teach the younger generations, that how the system works and what to do and what not to. Adding to the cons, when
people
 would retire at an early
age
 they will be free and many
people
 may not do any sort of activities,
this
 would lead to spoilage of thoughts, as there is a saying that an empty mind is devil's mind.
To sum up
, we can say that, there are always two sides to a coin, so there are advantages and disadvantages with it. So the government should work
accordingly
 and find a neutral solution so that the younger generations get opportunities to work, and the old
people
 don't get bored with life.
