To retire or not to retire

LIFE is finite so live it well. According to recent reports in the media, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry is mulling a proposal to increase the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65.

I am glad the Minister explained that such a proposal would have to “be refined because it involves various agencies and a complete policy change” and that “extensive research needs to be carried out because the mandatory retirement age was only just increased to 60 in July 2013.”
