Until what age do you think people should be encouraged to remain in paid employment? In some countries the average worker is obliged to retire at the age of 50, while in others people can work until they are 65 or 70. The following are opinions on whether there should be a mandatory retirement age. Read them carefully and write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the arguments on both sides;
2. give your comment.
Saying Yes
1. People over the age of 65 get many diseases. If there isn’t a mandatory retirement age, people who has disease can’t work and earn money as much as people who are healthy. This is unfair. Healthy or not is not their fault. So, there should be one mandatory retirement age for all jobs.
2. Workers younger than 65 are unemployed and underemployed. One reason is that all these older people fear being idle or not having more money. In a bad economy, the government should get rid of these people who earn more, and then could afford to hire perhaps a couple of newbies, while still saving money.
3. I’m sorry to say, I think old people should retire. They made it in the workforce, and now should leave jobs for younger people that have to make it. They can always volunteer if they are bored. If they can’t afford to, maybe lifestyle changes are needed. A lot don’t want to retire where I work and it is causing us to get sent home. Old people get out and give young ones a chance. Sorry if it seems harsh, but reality always is.
4. Older people should be forced to retire at a certain age because the world is steadily changed and their knowledge becomes outdated. With new and upcoming technology the older people fall behind by not knowing how to work these things.
Saying No
1. How is it fair for someone to be forced to quit a job that they still may need to help make payments and live off? Just because someone is in their sixties doesn’t mean that they aren’t mentally and physically able to get the job done. As long as they wish to work they should be able to keep their jobs.
2. I definitely don’t think there should be a mandatory retirement age because not all older people necessarily want to retire. I know an 83 year old woman that still works at an elementary school as a secretary, not because she needs the money but because she genuinely likes her job and probably doesn’t want to be sitting at home feeling useless. There are some older people that are still coherent and are able to work. Sure, there are some jobs they shouldn’t do when they get older but let them and their family choose.
3. There should be no mandatory retirement age, but the age at which the average American does retire should be lower. No one should be forced out of the workforce, but we also shouldn’t have work until we are 65 just to make sure we have enough money to get by when we can no longer hold a job.
4. Mandatory retirement age is discriminatory by its very nature. It ignores the realities of an older employee being clearly able to continue productivity and enforces stereotypes like "old people get sick" or "old people are crazy" or "old people can’t handle change". None of those are true on the whole and it’s harmful to implement policies based on prejudices like that.

答案
On Mandatory Retirement Age People in the above debate are arguing about whether there should be a mandatory retirement age. Some people believe that old people with old-fashioned knowledge should be prevented from working so as to leave employment chances to the youth, while others consider it unfair and discriminatory to force the elderly out of work especially when they still need the money to make a living. Personally, I believe there should not be a mandatory retirement age. To start with, it is apparent that many people in their sixties or seventies nowadays are still physically and mentally capable with living standards getting improved at an accelerated speed. And based on the fact that lifespan is increasing, people who regard their work as an inseparable part of their life would find it pretty dull and frustrating to be forced to spend extra years on something idle, possibly incurring serious mental illnesses. For these people’s own sake, it is sensible not to set a specific age for retirement. Furthermore, it is widely acknowledged these days that age is not necessarily an indicator of a man’s competence and people of all ages, genders and races should be given equal opportunities in the job market. In view of this, mandatory retirement age violates the principle of equal treatment and given that mandatory retirement age is regulated it would be absurd to advocate abolition of discrimination in terms of age, gender, and race in the job market. Admittedly, there is evidence that physical capabilities and reaction times are deteriorating with age. But most old people remain experienced and knowledgeable workers with maturity and loyalty and can create many more profits than young people in many professions. To sum up, the government should not impose a mandatory retirement age on the old. On the contrary, the elderly ought to be encouraged to remain at their posts especially under circumstances that there is a workforce shortage crisis. Possibly an age can be set as a reference for the elderly to choose whether to stop working or not.
