My Opinion on Forced Retirement

Before the reform and opening up in 1980s, everything in China was planned by the governmerrt. People in towns and cities were assigned a job after graduation, and would retire at fix age. Now about a quarter of century later, great changes have taken place in China, but the policy of forced retirement remains unchanged. This naturally causes much debate. In my opinion, forced retirement is not really suitable for the contemporary society.

Firstly, forced retirement may lead to much waste of energy and expertise. / At the age set for retirement, that is, 55 year old far women and 60 for men, moss are still at the best state in terms of job performance. By this time, mast of them may have worked for about 30years, and this gives them valuable experience and expertise which does not exist among younger people. / Besides，at the age of 50s or 60s, people usually have a better understanding of the society and of life, so they can make more sensible decision than younger people. / So forcing people to retire at 50s or 60s will necessarily lead to a great loss for the society.

Secondly, forced retirement may also cause problems far the retired. / The purpose of retirement is to give people a chance In rest and to en joy their life. But in fact the opposite is usually true. The average span of life in China is above 70, so when people retire at 50s or 6Os, they still have about one third of their life left. Most retired people find it difficult to adjust to the "new life"./Recently l read an article on problems troubling these senior citizens. The author has listed mental disorder and poor family relation as the most serious difficulties. The author also speculates shat if people do not retire so early, maybe many of them can avoid such problems.

Lastly, forced retirement can not really offer more job opportunities. / Many people who support the forced retirement policy believe that forced retirement can lead to many vacancies. which can help to ease the tension of employment in China. But this is not the case. As China's population has grown very quickly in the past decades, the jobs that the retired people can provide account for only a tiny amount of jobs required by the young. Besides, a society should try to create new job positions rather than robbing jobs from the old.

From the above discussion, we can see that forced retirement is exerting negative influence on the society since it wastes valuable experience and expertise, causes trouble to the old people and cannot really achieve the purpose of creating more job opportunities. As the society is attaching more importance to freedom and personal values, people should be allowed to make their own decisions as to when to retire.
