You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicants for their age. Is this a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

It is considered unlawful in some nations for employers to deny job seekers employment simply because of their
age
.
However
,  from my point of view, it is a step in the wrong direction as we shall see. First and foremost, some jobs are known to require physical strength
as well as
emotional wellness which is already lacking in elderly people
due to
degenerative processes.
For instance
,  lifting bricks to the building site would rather be done better by a youth who is still full of strength.
Additionally
,  there is the perception of disrespect by elderly persons. The employers find it difficult to give them instructions looking at their
age
thus
making them not useful in the organisation compared to their young counterparts.
Furthermore
, employment should be done in a professional way taking into cognisance the national law regarding it.
For example
,  in Nigeria,  the stipulated
age
for retirement is sixty-five years and as
such
, no firm is expected to recruit anyone above that
age
.

This
will lead to having employees who would not be fit for the job. It will

mean going against the law of the country.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
