jobs
 and despite the fact that almost every workplace searches for younger
people
, their chances are very high in comparison with youngsters, because aged
people
 have experience. Results of research in the USA showed that 50% of new employees in some particular
job
 places are
people
 who reached the
age
 of 45.  Obviously, almost every person wants more
money
 and older
people
 are no exception. In
this
 period of their lives, when they are going for rest, they want to earn as much
money
 as possible in order to have good vacation days.
Thus
, some aged
people
 are going for searching
jobs
 that fit them and have a big salary which leads to rivalry with young
people
. Changing the
age
 of retiring can possibly solve
this
 problem. Letting older
people
 for
pension
 earlier gives them the needed
money
 and allows the younger generation to have fewer rivals and gain experience. Aged
people
 can have more guaranteed time and
money
 for their vacations while more young
people
 can apply for
jobs
.
For example
, in China, some particular
jobs
 have a
pension
age
 of 42 and there are more youngsters in comparison with other
jobs
. To conclude, there are a lot of aged
people
 who are trying to apply for
jobs
 with the purpose of making more
money
 and they are taking the places of young
people
. Changing the
pension
age
 can solve
this
 problem by giving older
people
 their desired
money
 and the younger generation their
jobs
.
