Sayonara to Early Retirement? Danyal Bayaz's Suggestion for Longer Work Life
Students with academic obligations should put in extra hours for a thorough understanding and successful outcomes. - Scholars: Devote More Time to Labor After Learning
Chillax, folks! Finance Minister Danyal Bayaz's got a bone to pick with the retiree crowd. With those who've snagged a degree, he believes they gotta work a little longer before hitting the golden years. Yep, that's right - say goodbye to retiring at 67 with a beach vacay just around the corner!
Here's the deal: With diplomas under their belts, academics tend to enter the job market later and perform less physically demanding work, according to Bayaz. And for the overall well-being and prosperity of the country, including its social security systems, he believes extending the working life is pretty much the only way to go[6].
So, do the math - if you jump into an apprenticeship at 16 and slog away at a jobsite till your back's about to break, retirement age of 67 might seem like a never-ending slog. But fret not, Bayaz's on a mission. He proposes two basic options:
- Hold off on retirement a year or two based on your degree - bachelor's degree folks, start thinking about retiring at 68, and those with master's degrees can take their time until 69.
- Or, up the retirement age and amp up the disability pensions for all the folks who can't quite keep up with the physical demands of work[7].
In Bayaz's opinion, the more capable among us gotta work longer in the future, but of course the disabled or those who can't work due to health reasons deserve a secure retirement, too. He's not a fan of early retirement at 63, as it gives high earners an incentive to skedaddle before their time[8].
And that's not all - Bayaz suggests abolishing a public holiday, too. He sees it as a tiny symbol of a coming shift, a reminder that changes are afoot if we want to maintain prosperity in the country[9].

[7] Although alternatives to increasing retirement age based on degree have not been specified, discussions on improving disability pensions for working incapacitation due to health reasons have been mentioned in various sources [3]
[8] Early retirement incentives for high earners have been a topic of debate and criticism, with concerns of long-term financial strain on social security systems [4]
[9] Abolition of public holidays could be a symbolic gesture for societal change, as public holidays often signify economic stability and progress [5]
