Moscow: Putin signs law extending civil service age limit to 70 years.
Pesident raises age requirement for top officials to 70 years. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the law that extends the age limit for the civil service employees to 70 years, the Kremlin website reported. The law was passed by the State Duma lower house of parliament on December 19 and approved by the Federation Council upper house on December 26, 2012.
Thus the law amends the Federal Law of 2004, according to which the age limit for the civil service employees was 60 years.


United Kingdom: Retirement Age in UK may rise to 70. A new "default" retirement age of 70 could come into force under the raft of measures to be unveiled by Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt.
They include a ban on firms advertising jobs only for "young and energetic" people and moves to stop companies refusing to give elderly staff promotion and training opportunities on the grounds of age.
The proposals will also allow workers aged over 65 to claim unfair dismissal.
Mrs Hewitt will state that age discrimination costs the economy £16 billion each year because it limits the number of people in the employment market.

Islamabad: The Government of Pakistan is moving ahead to give decision for changing retirement age limit from 60 year to 63 year for men and from 55 year to 60 year for women government employees.

Civil service UK: Our initial entry requirements are surprisingly simple. As long as you meet our nationality requirements, to join most Fast Stream schemes all you need is a second-class degree in any subject, and it doesn't matter how long ago you graduated. There is no age limit (though, of course, departments expect several years’ service before retirement).
The reason we are so open is that it’s your skills, attitude and outlook we are really interested in. These are what we look for in our selection process.
