Work and Retirement in Old Age

Current proposals and plans to encourage or force old people to retire from their jobs in the postwar period are a threat to their best interests. Medical, psychological, and sociological research indicates that, for those who are able and eager to work, idleness may result in serious personality disintegration. Public measures such as old age clinics and government subsidized workshops and self-help co-operatives would provide employment adapted to their diminishing capacities and help them retain some degree of economic independence
