It is widely believed that people's ability to learn new things decreases with age and that companies should actively recruit younger employees who have great potential to learn. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
A common belief among people is that companies ought to employ the younger generation who are able to learn better than the older ones whose ability to learn may have declined with
