Should the retirement age be raised?

icwu (China)

Delaying the retirement age to 65 for men and 60 for women makes sense. However, its even better if its coupled with delaying job entry for youths by 1-2 years by introducing military training or community service (like the peace corps practice in US in the past) or non-paid apprentice training (like that practiced in Germany) for our youths. These options will not only benefit our youths but also solve any employment problems as a result of delayed retirements.
