The Biden scenario – Should we really be working into our 80s?

Published

on

As President Joe Biden, aged 81, faces re-election, concerns surrounding his age have ignited debate about people working into their 80s.

If re-elected, Biden would make history as the nation’s first octogenarian president, a milestone reflecting shifting demographics and evolving attitudes towards aging in the workforce.

Despite apprehensions raised by some voters regarding Biden’s age, experts suggest that the phenomenon of individuals working into their 80s is becoming increasingly common.

Substantial increase

This demographic trend is underscored by data from the Pew Research Center, indicating a substantial increase in the number of workers aged 75 and older since 1964.

Former President Donald Trump, who would be 78 if re-elected, serves as another example of the aging political landscape.

Additionally, the current 118th Congress boasts some of the oldest members in history, including senators like Bernie Sanders, 82, and Chuck Grassley, 90.

Age matters

However, Biden’s age has not escaped scrutiny, with polls revealing significant concerns among voters regarding his physical and mental health.

A national NBC News poll conducted in January found that 62% of voters expressed major concerns about Biden’s fitness for a second term. Similarly, a recent New York Times/Siena College poll indicated that a majority of Biden’s 2020 voters now believe he is too old to effectively serve as president.

While occasional verbal slips have fueled speculation about Biden’s cognitive abilities, experts caution against equating these instances with overall competence.
