Essay #119 "Age of Retirement in Different Countries" 16.05.18 There is quite a significant difference in ages of retirement from country to country, however, in most of them this age ranges from early 50’s to the mid of 60’s. But as different people can maintain capabilities to work differently throughout their lives it creates a controversy about the age of retirement. Some people think that it is too high, while others think that it is unfair to sack people only because of their age if they still able to work. Age of retirement should depend on different factors and working abilities is one of them. Thus, people should be proposed with a retirement on basis of their efficiency, rather than only by reaching a certain age, this will solve two problems at the same time, people who are not able to work will get their pension in time, and those who want to proceed working will have this chance. However, for most of jobs retirement age that spans between 60-65 is a quite reasonable and suits for most people. Another factor that should be considered in this decision is a health condition of a person, so people who have some illnesses or diseases should have their pension way earlier, or in some cases should be proposed with a different job which have less requirements and just physically and psychologically easier. This will let people prolong their working life and at the same time this system will be fair towards people who have trouble with reaching their pension age. The last thing that heavily affect age of retirement is overall wealth of a country, in poorer countries most people are continuing to work only because of low pensions which are not enough to sustain their live on a decent level. So this social factor has a very negative effect on a pension system and do not allow people to get deserved period of rest in their lives. Therefore, compulsory retirement will only harm in these situations and make people’s lives only harder. To conclude, pension systems are quite different in every country and in many cases they are far from perfection. However, in my opinion, retirement age which ranged from 60 to 65 is, in most cases, suitable for major part of people and a reasonable age to get a well-deserved rest from working life. But we should take into consideration different aspects of it and not make it compulsory, as people should make their own decision, which is one of the rights their have and we should not take this freedom away from them.

There is quite a significant difference in ages of retirement from country to country, but in most of them this age ranges from early 50’s to the mid of 60’s. However, as different people can maintain capabilities to work differently throughout their lives it creates a controversy about the age of retirement. Some people think that it is too high, while others think that it is unfair to sack people only because of their age if they still able to work.

Age of retirement should depend on different factors, and working ability is one of them. Thus, people should be offered retirement based on their efficiency, rather than only by reaching a certain age. This will solve two problems at the same time: people who are not able to work will get their pension in time, and those who want to continue working will have the chance to do so. However, for most of jobs retirement age that spans between 60-65 is a quite reasonable and suits for most people.

Another factor that should be considered in this decision is the general health condition of a person, so people who have some illnesses or diseases should have their pension way earlier, or in some cases should be offered a different job which has less requirements and is physically and psychologically easier.

Note: very interesting topic! Do you think that human rights laws should protect against discrimination on the basis of age, including protect against mandatory retirement? Which countries' human rights laws offer this kind of protection? From a different perspective, would mandatory retirement policies help reduce youth unemployment?
