During my working tenure in kuwait I have been noticing to what happens with the working person nearly reaching to fifties,If ones job is government he can be assured to complete his full working tenure until the retirement age that's sixty.
But for those who are working under the private companies have a tuff time in surviving with the pressure they have to face through job insucurity, specially if one is in middle management or lower. quiet earlier than their term of retirement is approaching, inspite of active and healthy, the management don't fail to strike them, either to pressure them to reisgn or terminate.
And imagine, what it is like to have a termination at his fifties, to find a job will be so difficult because of the age weighed all around into the companies while hiring the staff.hence even a well experienced person who would be active shall be called to work for quaterly from his earlier monthly income.
