Nowadays, more and more older people who need employment compete with the younger people for the same jobs. What problems this causes? What are solutions?

Finding a

job

is becoming increasingly competitive these days. Even older

people

have to keep working and compete with younger

job

hunters to get hired somewhere.

This

essay will explore why

this

trend is happening and come up with a solution. The most important reason why the

job

is becoming competitive between the older and younger folks is due to the imbalance between

job

demands and

job

supplies.

In other words

, the number of

people

looking for jobs is higher than actual

job

positions. The main reason for the increase in demand is population growth, while

job

opportunities cannot grow as fast as the population. Another reason lies in the fact that the

cost

of living is increasing, so

people

have to work even after they are retired in order to be able to pay their expenses. Which

also

cause a climb in the number of

people

seeking a

job

and create a vicious circle.

Thus

, older

job

seekers have to be competing with the new workforce in order to make a living. To tackle

this

problem, the government should increase pension payments for older workers in order to prevent the need for work after a certain age like 65.

Therefore

,

people

will get retire after the age of 65 and no need to compete with younger ones.

Besides

, the government can subsidise housing and some community services to reduce the

cost

of living and reduce expenses.

As a result

of

this

approach, the number of

people

competing in one

job

can be reduced dramatically. To sum up, the high

cost

of living and imbalance between

job

demand and supply cause lots of competition in

job

markets. To tackle

this

problem, the government should make

people

retire at a certain age and make sure they have enough money to make a living by increasing the pension and reducing the

cost

of living.
