Retirement Problems

Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely. A person may also semi-retire by reducing work hours.
Firstly, many people choose to retire when they are eligible for private or public pension benefits, although some are forced to retire when physical conditions don't allow them to work any more -by illness or accident- or as a result of legislation concerning their position. In most countries there is an official retirement age. That age depends on the economical situation of that country, population and unemployment rate. In Turkey, the retirement age is 65.
Secondly, even though 65 is higher than some of other countries, it's better for the Turkish workers, because retirement wages are lower than the normal salary and it is paid every 3 months. But not just that, after working for years people get lost in their retirement ages. They try to fish, to find some hobbies, to spend some time with grandchildren; but it never feels the same.
In conclusion, retirement is important if governments can solve what will happen afterwards and try to find beneficial solutions. It might be better for those people and for their peace of mind .
