article smells of propaganda..but quite many pple may have to work beyond retirement age..happy or not..still have to work..so why make oneself unhappy?

[Good-Carbuyer]

another wtf article... who was actually surveyed.. how did they conduct the survey??

 

according to the article..72% of sg employees would be happier working two years past the official retirement age without any additional financial benefit.. funny thing is none of my colleagues felt this way... so i guess we belong to the other 28% of singaporeans

Most S'poreans want to work past retirement age: survey

SINGAPORE : Singaporean employees want to work past the retirement age and upgrade their skills, according to the latest Randstad Workmonitor survey released on Tuesday.

 

It found that 72 per cent of Singaporean employees would be happier working two years past the official retirement age without any additional financial benefits.

 

The survey also showed that 66 per cent of Singapore employees interviewed said their career now demands more education and training than ever before, while more than a third said they felt their current job was beyond their current abilities.

 

Interestingly, four out of ten people surveyed would prefer a position with more responsibility, even if there was no increase in salary.

 

The survey also indicated a high level of confidence among employees, with 61 per cent believing recruitment of good talent had been increasing since the financial crisis and 65 per cent believing their companies were in a good position to hire well-qualified staff.

 

The findings also indicated a four per cent rise in employee satisfaction to 61 per cent among Singapore employees since its last quarterly release.

 

However, 74 per cent felt that more people would leave to work abroad in the future.

 

Randstad regional director for Singapore and Malaysia, Karin Clarke, said this highlighted the priority for employers to focus on strong talent retention and attraction strategies.

 

The research surveyed 405 Singaporeans from May 2 to 13, as part of a global quarterly survey of 13,565 employees, which tracks employee confidence, mobility, job satisfaction and personal motivation.

What I observed in my neighbourhood:

Retired are people who:

can not find employment

need not find employment

waiting to fall sick

only a handful are actively keeping fit

So looks like retirement for most of these neighbours is waiting to fall sick/die
