    With the country’s pension fund gap becoming wider than ever, retirement age should be postponed immediately.
    Postponing the retirement age will benefit the companies which need highly-skilled and experienced workers to perform certain tasks that are beyond the scope of younger workers.

NO
    Postponing the retirement age will bring a lot of harm. One is the stress of unemployment. With the growing number of students graduating from school every year, it is more and more difficult for them to land a good job. If the retirement age is postponed, it will be even harder for them to find a job.
    Postponing the retirement age is not good news to the enterprises, either. Old workers are unable to fully concentrate on their work; therefore, the efficiency of enterprises will be greatly reduced.

答案 To Postpone or Not To Postpone As China’s population ages, postponing the retirement age has been under heated debate. Supporters believe that having those highly skilled and experienced "old" labor force work longer will not only narrow the country’s pension fund gap, but also be beneficial to the companies in desperate need of their skills and experience. As for the workers, when their valuable skills are recognized, they will derive more pleasure from their prolonged working life. Meanwhile, opponents argue that old workers unable to concentrate on working will decrease the company’s efficiency and take new graduates’ jobs as well. I believe the retirement age should be postponed for the following reasons. To start with, the 21st century has seen an unprecedented aging population, which means there will be more elderly people above the age of 65. More elderly population may signal heavier economic stress on fewer young workers, and therefore getting those at the retirement age to work will drastically relieve them of their economic stress. What’s more, postponing the retirement age will benefit the companies which need highly-skilled and experienced workers to perform certain tasks that are beyond the scope of younger workers. As for the old, postponing the retirement age is also beneficial to them, for they can not only earn money to cover daily expenses, but also make their talents and skills recognized and valued. In conclusion, population aging raises the critical question for the whole society, and postponing retirement age is one of the effective measures to be adopted.
