What are the advantages of employing older people over the young?

hi kun, Yeah, older people are more flexible, dependable, reliable and dedicated when it comes to work and they are very professional though the problem exist after a longer retrenchment some plan to apply but end up as a failure since the company does have age requirements which limit opportunity for the older people. while younger people as you mention have more active mind and body which is very true unless they are so engross with their weaknesses having changeable mind, being impatient and being lazy most of the times it spoil the opportunity to become more productive as they staytoo long at their current employer is highly threaten if they never change their worry free attitude to something serious..

hi pose, Yeah,very true as one grow older and so the vast experience widened wherein the young still on the process of honing their crafts becoming better older adults too in the future. So t is not right to underestimate other person for being old and their should be no judgment, all irregardless of ages should be given a lot of opportunity to show on their skills and talents.. thanks.

hi 6precious, Yeah, and that is because of competition they make sure to perform their job better than the younger ones fearing of being fired on the job especially if they becomes so slow both in the body and mind so the employer would have to think twice. thanks

hi singuri, yeah, it really depends on the requirements and the job function. So far most of the jobs the market offer caters a lot to younger people and those which requires a lot of specialization the older who have more experience are the one who qualify for the job, because of their vast experience, more knowledge of the job specification and mature enough to take a serious roles comparing to the young minds. thanks

hi singuri, Inded it is most manifested as when it comes to functionality the demand of the job depending on the capability of the person to act fast as possible or slow down when the skills being uses is on the mind and not based on the performance of the physical comes the differences between white and bluecollar job.

hi dirky, Those are really happening in real life which is very bothersome some employer judge the people with the looks and age before a potential employee show her skills it is cutoff before one could exhibit her knowledge of the job because of lack of fair opportunity given to the older people respect should also be exercise by the yopunger people as in the future they also becomes old so it is not a good feeling being rejected and judge instantly when one is not given a chance to show her skills.

hi lakota, yeah, when it comes to learning is a continued process and there is no stopping by. Their should be no age limit is only matter of number the mind is very powerful and could think relentlessly so everyone have the ability to absorb learning depending on her susceptibility to adopt newer information at a fast pace. thanks

your welcome

hi mmessageme, Yeah,those are the set up in most company since the older people already undergo the times when they also given a lot of task when they are still new so the procedures is as to the newbie to hone more their familiarity with their crafts or offices protocol. It may also be depending on the frame of mind of other people in charge as some company even those in seniority position they have all the same work load and no exemption unless one call for sick or leave in the same time.

hi ronnyb, That would be a great news and i do hope it other countries would also follow the same model as japan did, since in my country their is an age limitation when it comes to working and those age above 30 years old have less opportunity to be hired when in fact is one pf these productive years where a person could perform better on his jobs with the most serious one since they are getting older and like to save a lot to strengthen their sources of finance for themselves and for their family sake. I am in favor of hiring both the old and new and one of the other they have some exquisite talents and skills which they could both shared to each other receiving benefits while at the same time serving their company.

You right, nelia. One good thing to older people no need for them to say what to do and they do. Unless they are orient in what work will be they are doing their jobs with full of responsibility and no complain about it...

Yeah, that very true older people are more mature, responsible, sincere and more committed to their job and they have high work ethics.:)

ho aerous, yeah, very true older people are more dependable, flexible, trustworthy and reliable. because they are already older they need to think ahead of the competition as when they tend to lagging they would eventually comes out as unsuccessful and the younger applicant are just an inches away to grab and bite the opportunity once the older becomes lax with her responsibility..

hi dorannwin, yeah, very true older people are more sincere, dependable, flexible, good role model and eventually could be trusted to accomplished any task or any assignment given by their superior and very organized to finish all her task at an exact time without much delay.

hi lovingangel, Yeah, that is the sad fact and even those in the middle adulthood, such as those above 30 they are less job offer and most goes to those age 30 and below which is injustice to the labor system hiring process. very unfair to the older people when they have the ability only to find out after interview they are not eligible because of age differences some employer favor the young who are willing to go under the table just to be hire by employer which fall somehow to nepotism with favoritism.

hi lovingangels, Yeah, Equality should be the implemented whatever age as long as one is capable to make the job done well that its not gonna be a problem as long as the employer see the truth behind every applicant should be given right to show their talents and skills to show their potential before rejecting them upon first impression or what is being written in the resume. I am also poor in math like algebra but in terms of business math and accounting I find them easy which lead me to take courses in Business administration as my course in college. I just hate complex math. I also been a cashier in a bowling complex but I resign since i often encounter drunk customer who often use foul words. So when i never feel well to any kind of environment even it pay well it becomes a poison to me so it is better for me to have a low salary and stay in a healthier environment instead with less stress. I do hope so in the future employer should not judge people when hiring with age alone but all should be given a chance to prove their worth so everyone happy being able to work and earn for themselves.

Hiya neelian, Still I think that People of all ages should have a chance to do some kind of work. They pay sorry guys, "disabled people" I hate using that term disabled sorry again a measly wage to do stupid things they are not treated like normal people either. Same goes for others. All of us have some kind of problem I have a great problem with Maths but have taken heart from something someone told me if you were terrible at maths you are above average intelligence and very creative. Now that is not considered a problem but to me it is I could not work as a Cashier for example. When there is equality for people with problems then I may vote for their system unti then they can count me out. Maybe when that time comes all People will be equal just hoping but maybe it will come true.

hi cintoy, Yeah, most CEO and those in the upper level management are handled by old people rarely one could see a young faces except if his family own the company. since most older people already see the future and experience the past. they are more of visionary not a dreamer since when they have plan they make it true as soon as possible with less waiting. they have more determination which outdo the young who are still have to undergo many stepping stone projects before they could achieve what the older people have achieve.

hi atv, That very true and they are very reliable and so sincere with their work if a problem arises on the job they could easily resolve it. thanks

hi danishcanadian, Yeah,very true older people have more wisdom while the younger ones need a lot of time to hone their crafts before they could match the experience already obtain by the older people in various field of interest. Though, both are need as one becomes intermediary while other mentor the younger mind to have a lot of self control need with a lot of determination or else the stock knowledge becomes useless when it is not acted upon in real situation.

hi nijolechu, Yeah, mature employer have more profound thinker, and could be a reliable worker even hands on or manual job they are all dependable, flexible and very mature in their thinking that teaching them some basic and even extreme worked they could even learn at a fast pace as long as the interest remain within themselves.

hi mr.kennedy, Yeah, and it is acceptable fact that everyone whose young today would become older in the future, so the right respect should only be given to the older people not disregard them as even at their age they could still be an assets to the society rather than liability. Older people are more serious when it comes to their work, flexible and very dependable. And the younger people should need to be treat their fellow older employees as fair and possible the same things on the side of the older employees, both are beneficial to help each other sharing various information for the success of the company merit.

hi hazelrose, yeah, older people are more sincere, serious on their work, and could be trusted most of the time since they already experience what to be young before and they making every minutes of their life productive by remaining working and active both in body and mind.

hi benitachen, Yeah, as most older people already gain a lot of experience already successful in their career and have already a lot of savings in their account. They are also dependable, reliable and very flexible they are not choosy on the job and are willing to work with anyone as long as they embark on new activities which coud gives the older people lot of exposure and for the young to follow their exemplary good habits.

hi salmanzak, yeah, you got a point there not all people have good experience some been old with little to boost on their less performance while others stand out among the crowds fro being productive through the past and up to the present. Lot of young people are immature and not to serious while older people are reliable, independent and sincere have high ethical habit when it comes to working. thanks
