Should the retirement age be raised?- correct me please
In recent research, it is shown that the human average age has increased. This suggests that employees should retire at a later age than previously. I strongly oppose this idea for the following reasons.
The first reason worth mentioning is that people nowadays have to face stress, the most common mental problem, throughout their lifetime. Since there is more competition at the workplace, working harder becomes a key to keeping our jobs and getting promotions. Employees are asked to work overtime. Everthing has to be done as quickly as possible, which creates a hurried life style. For that reason, we always feel busy and do not have enough time to relax or enjoy our lives. This means our health will not be able to handle any tasks, when we reach the age of 65.
As we know, our health care system has also been improved. However, illnesses, such as cancers and diabetes, are still affecting our lives, which is my second reason. Scientists have proven that viruses and bacteria transform themselves to survive and become more dangerous. Illnesses spread widely in multiple ways, which makes them harder to control.
Based on what I have written, I could say that we have more complicated issues, although we are living longer. I believe retaining the same retirement age is more considerate for goverments.
