cze	Work, Aging and Justice	Martha Nussbaum argues that a universal pension age—common in many European countries, while abolished in the US and Australia—is a central form of harmful discrimination against aging people. The claim is striking in the way it attacks something that many people perceive as a pillar of the equitable northern European welfare state. I scrutinize her arguments for this, and her thoughts about social security and the right to a retirement pension, and argue that a universal right to continue at work may have complex negative consequences for the kind of welfare system that Nussbaum favors, where a broad range of human capabilities can be promoted for all citizens. I also discuss the implications of her ideas on retirement, on her thinking about liberalism and social justice, and the subtle but important differences it reveals between Nussbaum’s anglophone liberalism and the Nordic social liberal welfare state. While in agreement with her idea that it is important to consider aging people in their particular situations, and that we need to rethink the situation of elderly people when growing numbers age in good health, I argue that the insistence on abolishing compulsory retirement is a faux pas with regard to an optimal application of Nussbaum’s own capabilities approach, at least in the Nordic setting.	práce; důchody; odchod do důchodu; trh práce; sociální spravedlnost
