I want an urgent debate on positive aging. It is very detrimental to force people to retire at 65 and it should be a choice. Forcing people to retire at 65 suggests they are beyond it or can no longer contribute to society. The New York Times reports on the health retirement study, which is a survey of more than 22,000 Americans aged more than 50 years every two years. The study proves that the longer people stay in work, the longer they retain their cognitive ability.
