Depends on the job and the physical and mental state of a given person. For many manual jobs, this is unrealistic. Also, many people experience gradual mental decline and they become semi-unemployable in those ages
- roenxi 7y agoI'm not sure how things are run in the UK, but in Australia the theory goes that issues of physical and mental state would be picked up through the health system case-by-case. I suppose what I'm trying to get at is that the retirement age was never universally seen as a reward. If a 70 year old can work, they should work. On basically the same principle as when I say that a 40 year old who can work, should work. If they can't work then fair enough; 70 is a delicate age and life gets really hard past the early 70s. But it is a reasonable policy to say that the official age is 75 and then find a different way of filtering out people who can't work for health reasons.
