In many countries, people usually stop working around the age of 60 or 65. However, recently there’s been a discussion about whether this age is really suitable for retirement. Some people think it's too early, especially because many older adults still feel healthy and active. They prefer staying busy by continuing their work instead of stopping early.
Older people often decide to keep working because their jobs allow them to earn extra money to support their children or grandchildren. This can be very important, particularly in difficult economic times.
Another intriguing thing is how companies value older workers. Companies often like to hire older employees because they have a lot of experience. These experienced workers play a big role in helping younger employees learn the necessary skills.
