      The average age at which workers retire appears to vary widely around the world.
      What factors contribute to deciding retirement age?
      How are societies advantaged or disadvantaged by workers retiring early?
      The age at which workers retire varies across the globe. In some countries, it is compulsory for employees to leave their public sector occupations as early as 50 years of age, while in the media there is discussion about extending working lives to 70 years or even older.

      There are several factors that a country, organization or individual will consider in deciding a suitable retirement age. A country with a large and growing younger population will want to make room in the workforce by forcing retirement of established workers at an earlier age. Conversely, a state with a declining population may wish to extend the working lives of its people so that its workforce maintains its economic competitiveness. Companies and organizations that employ people will often decide on retirement policies based on their own specific long-term needs; a firm that is in financial trouble, for example, may compel its older workers to leave sooner as a way of saving money on salaries. The factors that individuals consider, meanwhile, will be based on personal circumstances, and these are likely to vary very widely.

      While it depends on the society, there are distinct disadvantages in early retirement. There are productive employees just because they have reached their 55th birthdays, for example, means that a society is essentially throwing away the considerable expertise and experience that only older workers offer. Furthermore, most individuals who have left the workforce no longer pay much tax and depend on pensions often provided by the state; early retirement, then, means that a society receives less tax revenue and must pay benefits to a larger portion of its population.

      In conclusion, allowing workers to retire later in life, I believe, avoids the associated disadvantages to society of early retirement.
