Vic: What Australian newspapers say Tuesday Feb 12 = 2
It would be better for Australians health - and the economy's - if forced retirementwas scrapped, The Age says.
"It is time that discrimination against older workers and pressure on them to retirewere ended," the newspaper says.
"The argument that older people should get out and make room for younger job-seekersis the same as the one used to try to stop married women entering the workforce.
"In any case, because of declining fertility rates and the resultant ageing of thepopulation, the supply of younger workers is set to diminish.
"Consideration should be given to scrapping mandatory retirement and allowing peopleto continue working for as long as they are able and want to."
