Some people believe that it is a good idea for people to continue working in their old age. I largely agree, because this gives elderly people a meaningful wayelder people ways to spend their time and gives them some economic supportecnomic helps. However, we must also considerBut we still need to notice the balance of the number of employees of young people and elder people in the companies.

To begin with, it is a great way for elder people to spend their time. In other wordsword, if people continue working in their old ageages, they will have a goal for their days, they know what to do. For example, if elder people retireretired at home without a job, they might just watch TV or sleep all dayall the day. This is not only very boring for the old people, but also bad for their health, due to a prolonged lack of exercisedue to long time lacking excersice. Besides, working can also give elder people salaries. Elder people can just use this money to improve their life qualities, rangingrange from what they wear to what they eat. All in all, there are many benefits for people to continue working in their old age.

However, there is also a problem that if there are more and more elder people continue working in their old age, how will young people find jobs?keep working in their old age, how young people will find their jobs? For example, a company has 3000 employees, and the total number of that won't change. When there are more and more elder people, it become harder and harderharde for the young people to enter the companyto go to the company, because the total number of the employees won't change. But this problem is much easiereasiser to solve. If the company can provide more jobs, or they can divide their jobs into two types, one for elder people, and the other for young people. This problem can be solvedsloved easily.

In conclusion, I largely agree that it is a great idea for people to continue working in their old age, which can not only provide them with a way to spend their time, but also can give them some extra money to improve their life qualities, as longsoon as we can balance the number of employees of young people and elder people in companies.
