Some say that because many people are living much longer, the age at which people retire from work should be raised considerably. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Because people are getting longer life expectancy in this age, there are some opinions  that the retirement age also need to be increased suitably. In my view, I completely agree with that idea due to some reasons below.

First and foremost, there are alot of people who have already retired still keep working or want to go to work. For example, in a recent survey, many retired people said that they like to continute working because they  feel bored or useless when staying home and doing nothing. That is why more and more job agencies are offering jobs which are very easy to do or do not acquire much skilled so old people colud be able to do it even at their homes.

Further more, it is undisputable to claim that ageing population is a serious problem of many countries so rasing retirement age shows as a potential solution. For instance, the old people rate of Japan is over 20 percent of their population which is the highest rate in the world, that makes Japan government have to increase their  retired age up to 65 years old. In Japan, due to a high quality of life, Japanese  live much longer and healthier ,thus, they  are still capable of working at 65 years old.

In conclusion, although there is some drawbacks but I think it is necssary to increase the age at which people leave from work and get rest because we could not live such a long time without working or contributing to society.

Feedback: Do not use the word "but" in a sentence with the word "although." They have the same meaning. Why not remove the word "but" and keep the word ''Although''?
