"... is working to this age really the end of the world?" Yes, it literally is the end of the world for him. Later in the article it says the average life expectancy is 79!!

Not that it matters too much in the context, but the average life expectancy is the average at birth not 79. The man should expect to live into his 90s if he makes it to 79.
