It has been claimed that workers over 50 are not responsive to rapidly changing ideas in the modern workplace and that for this reason younger workers are to be preferred. Do you agree?

Some people often claim that it is much better to employ young specialists than the older ones because of the continuous changes which are tend to occur at the modern jobs. I am inclined to believe that it is not true. It is believed that the main advantage of employing young people is that they are more likely to foster innovations whereas the senior employees would probably not like the idea of any changes. To some extent, it can be true,

are a lot of old people who are on good terms with innovations and always willing to learn something new. The downsizing policy in our country makes most of the employers to give older people a golden handshake and supplant them with young specialists. But I still have the ambivalent attitude to

On the other hand
