Should India lower the retirement age of government employees from 60 to 58 to create more jobs for youth?

The Question

India adds 12 million new workers to its workforce every year, but formal job creation has not kept pace. Government jobs remain the most coveted, with crores applying for a few thousand posts. Lowering the retirement age by 2 years could theoretically open up lakhs of vacancies. Supporters say it creates space for younger talent. Critics argue experienced employees would be forced out prematurely and pension liabilities would increase significantly.
