Retirement age
Is it actually inevitable to enhance retirement age to 60 years where our country is burdened with joblessness? So far I understand the proposal has come up on the issue of extension of services of some government officials. I see the extension of services of some government officials is as more of a political decision than of state necessity. If the country could not run sans services of some officials than how could the country run after the expiry of extended services of those so-called indispensable officials.
Our policy makers should look at the non-government organisations, multinational companies and most of the private banks, which are being maintained successfully by the young officials. To ease the problem of joblessness, retirement age should rather be 55 years.
