Abstract: The retirement age of state government employees of Kerala is at a lower point of 56 years. It is
crucial for the state with the highest literacy level and most number of qualified population to
adopt a subtle strategy to keep the ageing, yet fit to work population gainfully employed in the
labour market without restricting the job opportunities of the youth. Political opposition to a
progressive rise in retirement age is widespread in Kerala. Associating ratchet effect and
retirement age is significant in the present scenario of globalization and distinguished lifestyle as
the employees become accustomed to the living standards they have maintained over the previous
decades .The state of Kerala with the highest life expectancy of 74.9 years demonstrates the fact
that the age 55 years is too young to be laid –off from work.
