People who reach the age of 60 should stop working. This will give younger people a chance to have a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people think that working age should be limited to 60. This decision would give more opportunities for young people to find a job and to make a good career.


However, early retirement of employable people can lead to the serious consequences. Therefore, this action should not be taken unless there is a very high birth rate in a particular country.


Firstly, older people have a valuable experience in their field, based on many years of practical work. There is a huge importance of sharing the knowledge with younger colleagues to continue their improvement. In order to achieve this goal, seniors should leave their job at the age of 65 or more. Secondly, it is crucial to keep employed as many people as possible, because of the decreasing birth rate in the most developed countries. Otherwise, some countries can face a crisis since there will be not enough working people to maintain children and the elderly. Furthermore, the higher age of retirement would save a lot of money in a budget, as a result of the lower number of pensioners.


Nevertheless, the idea has some positive aspects. For instance, it would give a longer rest and the freedom of actions for the elderly. In addition, it could encourage young people to have children, since they would be more certain about their future and job prospects.


In conclusion, people should work as long as, they are competitive and are able to take new challenges in their job.
