A recent study highlights the need to reconsider retirement policies in light of declining public health among employees.
Impact on Public Health
The study suggests that raising the retirement age may lead to an increase in the number of people facing severe health problems while continuing to work.
The study adds that these health problems may worsen with age, affecting employees' performance and exposure to health risks.
Social Context
This issue should be viewed from a broader social perspective, where countries must strengthen healthcare and retirement policies to ensure a dignified life for employees after retirement age.
Experts expect the need to re-examine these policies to grow as demographic and social conditions evolve.
