Nov 28, 2008France retirement age at 70
PARIS - THE French parliament adopted a law on Thursday that will allow people to work until 70 despite criticism from unions and the opposition Socialists that it opens the way to push back the official retirement age.
The government denies the law would force anyone to work beyond the age of 65, the age at which French workers have hitherto been obliged to retire, but says it will allow greater flexibility to those who want to keep working.
The law, which was passed in the lower house earlier this month, was passed by the Senate on Thursday.
Like other industrialised countries, France faces growing pressure on its pension system and has been forced to increase the period for which retirees pay pension contributions to 41 years despite strong opposition from unions.
Under the current system, French workers can retire at the age of 60 if they have paid contributions for a certain number of years. The contribution period is set to rise from 40 to 41 years by 2012. --

In Singapore, you can never retire.
Just like you can never leave Hotel California.
Remember someone said that retirement will lead to death. If possible, he is going to disallow retirement in Singapore but not possible because it is international that countries practise to have retirement. It is no surprise that such words are from the popular tyrant of our country.

in my case, i will not retire. maybe around 55 or 60, after i have saved up enough for "retirement", i will switch career to something that has always interest me since young, a dream job that i always wanted to pursue but was unable to because its pay or maybe social prestige was lower. this is to maximize my sense of achievement and accomplishment in life. i cannot imagine it but i know it would definitely be good when i finally get to pursue and do what i like to do as a job.
