The office of the Third Age Defender, created by Eugenio Semino, has seen a shift in the nature of consultations from individuals seeking information on how to access retirement to those asking how to avoid it. The phenomenon began two years ago, and according to the institution, its effects on physical and mental health are becoming increasingly concerning. Semino noted that the office has changed its function, stating that today, everyone knows that retiring means falling into poverty. Jorge "Cacho" Smokvina, a 74-year-old retiree, described his experience of working eight hours a day, six days a week, as an Uber and DiDi driver, driving a car where he invested all his savings to continue working. He reported coming home completely stressed due to traffic and experiencing stomach and joint pain from sitting all day. His situation reflects a growing trend among older adults who feel forced to continue working due to financial pressures. A few weeks ago, two events highlighted some of the situations that older people are experiencing. In one case, a 68-year-old woman was found collapsed in her apartment after working multiple jobs to support her family. In another, a 71-year-old man was hospitalized for severe anxiety and exhaustion after working long hours in a warehouse. These incidents have sparked discussions about the need for better social safety nets and policies that support older workers. Experts warn that the increasing reliance on older adults to support the economy is not sustainable and may lead to long-term health and social issues. They argue that while older people contribute significantly to the workforce, their well-being must be prioritized to ensure they are not overburdened. The Third Age Defender continues to advocate for policies that address the financial and health challenges faced by older workers.
