i am 77 yo I would be pleased to work 3 to 4 days a week for say 4 hours in a office who would give me a job
I work 2 or 3 times a week in volunteering work sometimes more
I am on my own and I find you have to do something to keep yourself going
I do not understand the government saying older people must work longer
give us a job and see how many of us would go to work there are a lot of people working in volunteering for no pay

Oh Noreen , l hear you . I am 57 and not well enough to work full time. I am not sure where abouts in the world you are. But l am sure your life skills alone would get you a job. The government do not know what the real life is like. If we did not spend so much of our taxes with single mothers and boat people. We would not have to work so long.
