Some people believe that no one should be allowed to continue working after the age of 65. However, other says that there shouldn't be limitation on age and anyone should be allowed to work regardless of their age. Discuss both views, give your own opinion and include relevant examples.
The
age
of retirement from employment has become a topic of massive debate among the general public. There is one
faction of people that believes that one
should not be allowed to indulge in employment after he/she reaches the age
of 65. The other group, however
, is of the view that this
threshold on age
should not be applied and one
must be free to work regardless of one
's age
. In this
essay, we are going to discuss both arguments and provide a reliable solution of our own.
Looking at the former viewpoint, it is going to benefit both the retirees and the companies. If such
a limitation is applied, this
would greatly reduce the exploitation of old workers at the hands of their employers. In the absence of such
a limit, corporations would continue to use them for their work even when they are not able to do it anymore, which would only delay the availability of pensions and other government benefits they are entitled to. Moreover
,a person retiring at a certain age
only paves the way for young employees to take over, bringing with them, fresh views and ways to get things done. Lastly
, this
would enhance the productivity of the company as older employees are comparatively less efficient than their younger counterparts.
On the other hand
, the argument of no limitation holds some weight as well. There are many old people who live a very lonely and tedious life. Being employed gives them a reason to look forward to the next day while
also
earning enough to live a satisfactory and independent life. Their experience of several years also
makes them a valuable asset for the companies so the corporations would like them to continue for a few more years.
To conclude
, it can be said that both viewpoints have their own advantages. Nonetheless
, in my opinion, the government should apply a legal limit on the retirement age
as it is more beneficial for society as a whole.Submitted by komalverma271999 on
