Of the nearly 40,000 professors who make up the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), 16.8 percent are over 65 years old, at which age they could retire, since the majority accumulate more than 30 years of academic age. However, they remain active because only thus do they retain benefits, bonuses and stimuli that are lost at the time of retirement.
