Description[?]:
"The Free State of Malivia" currently enforces that the minimum age of retirement for the citizens of Malivia to be at the age of sixty-five/65. The People's Revolutionary Party proposes that the "Minimum Age of Retirement should be: i) Reduced from "Sixty-Five/65" to "Sixty/60" years of age. The People's Revolutionary Party deems the current "Minimum Age of Retirement" to be unethical considering that: i) It prevents new and skilled unemployed working-class citizens from attaining employment within jobs that are occupied by individuals in-between the age of 60-65. ii) It forces elderly citizens to fulfill average quotas, despite their physical or mental condition, in order to meet the minimum requirements towards receiving the benefits of retiring. The People's Revolutionary Party proposes the amendment considering that: i) It decreases the employment rate of the "Reserve Army of Labour" ii) It increases the average citizen's purchasing power iii) It provides elderly citizens in-between the ages of 60-65 with the ability to attain the benefits of retirement without being forced to labour within conditions that are deemed to be discomforting or unsafe within the workplace due to potential physical and mental disabilities that arise due to one's age. iv) It out-competes the "Human Development Index" in the context of "Worker's Rights" of countless nation-states throughout the international community, which increases our reputation within the international community as a role-model for nations throughout the globe. v) Increases the general human development, such as health and happiness, of "The Free State of Malivia's" elderly population by reducing stress, work-related injuries, and illnesses. |

Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
