In some countries, it can be very difficult for people over the age of fifty to get good jobs, despite their experience.what do you think are the causes of this problem and what measures could be taken to solve it?

In the

last

decades, the lack of decent

job

opportunities has been one of the most serious and growing problems in many countries. In

this

regard, there has been a growing body of opinion in favour of an increasing number of old

people

with the age of over fifty who find it difficult to apply for appropriate

job

positions in their domestic labour market.In

this

,essay I will explain the main probable causes of

this

problem and offer two practical solutions to tackle it.

To begin

with, it must be stated that the big breakthroughs in technology, in any field, have transformed most industries

as well as

the process of doing work in companies.

This

means that young generations who are more familiar with leading-edge technology could fulfil their employers' requirements in a far more efficient way.

On the other hand

, older citizens who are deprived of the latest skills in operating modern tools could not adapt themselves to new executive methods in the workplace.

Secondly

, many experts argue that overpopulation has led to an extreme shortage of suitable jobs in big cities.

This

is because the population explosion will create cut-throat competition for certain jobs between experienced workforce and young newly-graduated

people

.

This

is probably why many old

people

even with high knowledge and valuable experience find themselves unemployed as the younger applicants have always taken priority since they are more energetic, ambitious and creative.

For example

, in Tehran, there are at least 5 million residents over 50 years old,

while

there are only about 1 million official

job

opportunities available in the urban areas.

However

,

this

problem is not insurmountable providing that effective actions are taken. First of all, governments should organize cost-effective training programmes for elderly

people

in order to enhance the necessary skills in operating advanced devices.

Furthermore

, to iron out the latter issue, the authorities could provide equivalent

job

opportunities in conjunction with adequate welfare states to eliminate the overpopulation issue in big cities. In

this

way, young

people

could achieve their occupational goals in their local community

instead

of immigrating to big cities to seek decent salaries.

To sum up

, there are many factors

such

as overpopulation and the transformation of executive methods for the lack of suitable jobs for elderly

people

. But we can solve it only if governments take responsibility to take the aforementioned steps.
