Along with the trend of longevity, nobody could have failed to notice a heated debate on whether it is wise to postpone retirement age.

　　Some people argue that it's necessary to postpone the retirement age in that it is a good way to deal with the aging population.One of the direct results of the aging society is a drop in the labor force supply，which can be relieved by postponing the retirement age.However，other people hold a negative view about it.For one thing，this reform could raise the pressure of social employment，especially for the present severe situation.For another，it may diminish the senior's leisure time and the probability of the retired people enjoying their retirement pension.

　　For my part.we should take the level of the reform and the elders'interest into consideration so that a clearer perspective of the debate can be gained.
