Retirement

Nowadays, almost in every country there is a law that controlled the age to retire for employees. In Indonesia, the most common retired age is 60 or 65. So, the employees have to retire when they reached the age limit that have been determined by the company. In my own opinion, employee shouldn't forced to retire at specific ages, like 60 or 65 that have been stated above. It is because some of them are still productive or still needed by the company.

Firstly, there are severeal kind of workers. The "so-so", the "below average", and the "work hard". For the "so-so" and the "below average", it is alright if they have to retire at a particular age because they didn't perform great job. But if the retired-age-law applied to the company, so the whole employees have to worked just until specific ages. If they do this, unfortunately, the "work hard" type will also retire. Whereas, they are still work productively and still needed by the company.

Considering the case above, I absolutely agree if people should be allowed to continue to work for as long as they want to, and not to be forced to retire at a particular age such as 60 or 65.

Good, but you need to elaborate more 'why should be allowed to continue to work for as long as they want to'. Giving real example would be better.
