Happy life |
The retirement time is likely
to be a deadlock thinking to most of retirees particularly in Tanzania. When
the retirement time reach most of employee’s starts to have over dream and dark
expectation because of many factors such as past financial misbehavior, fearing
the externality of the future, over expectation, delay to get their pensions, lack of clear
plan/project to do, fear of new life, lack of alternative source of income
among others.
Due to these challenges I
conducted an open research on retirees life rate which demonstrated that 50-60%
of employees get stress stroke and body paralyses, 10% of retirees affords to
run their new projects due to their past positive investment strategic and
experiences, 20% of retiree pass away early after their retirement with the age
between 60-70 this because of unfulfilled expectation, stress due to delay of
their pension, over expectation with poor aftermath.
Retirees are very
essential assert in growing modern and strong industrial based national economy simply because they have
enough overcast experiences in their field, they are very potential also in
advise therefor better to protect them through providing social security
income, love, psychological education, care and sometime using them through
contracts, having old and health retirees indicates wealth, peace, love,
respect and blessing in the country because every employee will retire so
better to create good and friendly platform for old/retirees and relax time. In
the U.S., for example, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has been
offering retirees monthly Social Security income benefits since 1935.
In order to handle this problem I have suggested
three areas to be realized and considered (Retirees, government, environment).
This mean that retiree themselves they need education (Retirement trainings,
workshops and seminars) as well as meditation in their peace of mind this will
reduce the rate of stress and overthinking, here the government must formulate
good retirement policies and scheme for retirement sustainability this will
value them and respect their contributions in national building, lastly
environmental education is more vital to retirees this will help them to have
proper and perfect plan/project to do, in additional to that environmental
education should goes together with entrepreneurs and investment education.
Furthermore, in helping retirees and other
employees I have proposed to learn and understand SWOT analysis as a strategic
planning technique which may be used to help them in identifying retirement strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
