许多经合组织国家现在达成了广泛的政治共识，即人们的平均工作时间将比过去更长，各国政府正在提高国家养老金年龄。这一问题通常表现为个人工作时间更长的责任，但现实情况更为复杂，并引发了严重的伦理问题。是否每个人都有责任继续工作到老年，因为有些人可能不想或感觉不能工作，因为健康状况可能会因为一生艰苦的体力工作而加剧？如果个人继续留任，结果总是成功的吗？还是在某些情况下，如果他们认为这是最好的选择，我们就不应该指望他们工作？本章通过对美国健康与退休研究和英国老龄化纵向研究的分析来解决这些问题。这项分析表明，在这两个国家，相当数量的65岁以上的人在健康状况不佳和/或从事体力要求高的工作时仍在工作。根据对从事体力要求高的工作的英国老年酒店业员工的定性研究，有人认为，期望人们工作更长时间并不总是可行或可取的，这是政策迫切需要认识到的。
There is now a broad political consensus in many OECD countries that people will have to work longer on average than in the past, and governments are raising state pension ages. This issue is often presented in terms of the individual’s responsibility to work longer, but the reality is more complicated and raises serious ethical questions. Is it the responsibility of everyone to continue working into older age, when some individuals may not want or feel able to work because of health conditions that were perhaps exacerbated by a lifetime of physically arduous employment? Is it always a successful outcome if individuals remain in employment, or are there circumstances when we should not expect them to work if they feel this is the best option? This chapter addresses these questions through an analysis of the US Health and Retirement Study and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. This analysis shows that in both countries, significant numbers of individuals aged 65+ remain in work when they have poor health and/or do physically demanding work. Drawing on qualitative research on older UK hospitality workers doing physically demanding work, it is argued that it is not always feasible or desirable to expect people to work longer, something that policy urgently needs to recognize.
