Time to shift retirement age?

At what stage of life should a person retire? Typically, you would think it would be when your productive years are behind you.

When Mercer International president suggested in this newspaper a week ago that Singaporeans should retire at 70, his thinking was primarily based on the widening gap between the official end of the average person’s working life and his longevity, which is approaching 85 years. This puts an unconscionable burden on not just on the younger generation, but also the State, which is increasingly weighed down by the need to cater to both the young as well as the old.
