Nowadays more and more people have to compete with young people for the same jobs. What problems does this cause? What are some possible solutions?

#people #jobs
It has been seen a tendency that older
people
 struggle to get a
job
 as it has been getting more competitive among both, young and old
people
 to get a

 nowadays. I am of the opinion that
this
 trend will result in for older potential workers to suffer in their lives a lot more, that said,
companies
 could set some regulations in regards to employment procedures.
Firstly
, the fact that older
job
 seekers have to compete with young stars for the same jobs means that there is a chance for older
people
 not to acquire jobs easily as it usually is cheaper for
companies
 to hire youth, rather than experienced
people
.
However
,
this
 fact will cause serious problems. In general, it is more likely that
people
 who are in their 30s, 40s and 50s have started families unlike young
people
 in their 10s or 20s. So if these

 employment procedure.
For instance
, they can place certain numbers how many they can employ certain ages, like 2 new graduates and 5
people
 having more than 10 years of experience in that role.
Companies
 can benefit from hiring older
people
 because they are usually more experienced in their life so will be able to contribute their knowledge and experience to their company. In conclusion, these days, more and more older generations have to compete with young potential workers for the same jobs.

 and

Companies
 should be responsible to avoid these possible problems by introducing some regulations,
