Some countries allow old people to work to any age that they want. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Regardless of

age

, some countries allow older individuals to

work

in both the private and government sectors. I contend that

while

enabling older generations to

work

offers significant opportunities for knowledge transfer between older and younger professionals, there are

also

some drawbacks. First and foremost, certain individuals who are over the retirement

age

still refuse to settle at home.

Instead

, they display an aspiration to

work

for many years to come at certain jobs. Some of these people are equipped with tremendous experience and background knowledge in specific works which sometimes brings about revolutionizing solutions targeted towards overcoming the most intricate problems encountered at their organizations.

Consequently

,

such

magical touches result in revenue surplus, cost savings and efficiency increases in the workplace. Another obvious advantage of letting senior employees

work

stems from their existing economic situation and the difficulties that they are enduring. Unfortunately, either to support their families or the worsening life circumstances compel the members of the old generation to keep working

although

they have already passed the retirement

age

threshold. By giving these people an opportunity to

work

, they will be able to help their families set up better living conditions

as well as

s seek a feeling of gratification in the sacrifice that they have made for their loved ones to combat poverty.

On the other hand

, from the sustainability of the workforce standpoint, by not regulating the working

age

limit in workplaces, countries are

also

creating a big gap in the employment rate between old and young generations.

For example

, in Japan, there is no mandatory retirement

age

in the general workforce,

thus

, allowing the ageing population to

work

for an unconditional time period,

further

widening

this

employment gap.

Therefore

, a number of young talents with more energy and passion remain unemployed

due to

the shortage of

work

in the labour market, disrupting the market dynamics and causing inefficiency. In conclusion, whilst having no working

age

limit imposed on the ageing population is utterly important and beneficial to the society and country, some countries record negative results in the downward employment rates in younger working groups. Bearing in mind all the aforementioned reasons, I think the advantages of

this

trend outweigh its demerits.
