I UNDERSTAND that the human longevity become the worst desease ever seen. Humans loose their reproduction ability around the age of fiftyfive. Leaving aside all faiths , we know that the sole living purpose all living creatures is reproduction. By end of our life we are just bequeathing the children we raised. Some may say that we are also leaving scientific or literary books, woks of art , but these are not able to reproduce themselves...
NOWADAYS the life expectancy rose above eighty in affluent countries but the age of retirement is around sixtyfive. Now the biggest problem starts at this point. You have at least fifteen years to finance your basic needs such as having an adequate shelter, food and medical assistance. The latter is becoming more important costly as you grew older and older. One over ninety , need also a caregiver which making the matter worser.
BESIDE few affluent countries in most part of the world these eldery people need help from their children which is causing a disruption to the normal life of yougsters.
RETIREMENT may be good to open new space for the young generation but it is not so good idea for middle age people to leave them idle, both mentally and physically. Moreover in most of the countries in the world the pension that the retirees get is not sufficient to survive. Than it comes to the children to assist and also to the government to help.
THE RATIO of wrokers against retirees is diminishing day by day.This means retirees population is growing swiftly. In his famous book of "The 100 year life" of Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott are forseeing a longer longevity in the near future which will disrupt heavily pension funds
