Compulsory retirement

There is no medical evidence that supports the theory that working after the age of 60 is bad for one's health. On the contrary, it is retirement which gives rise to such stresses that many people's health suffers. Intellectual powers are not automatically reduced after a certain age, and physical frailty does not afflict everyone. Forcing people to retire at a given age is a denial of their right to work, and deprives the workforce of experienced and proven people.
