Nowadays more and more older people who need employment have to compete with younger people for the same jobs. What problems does this cause?What are the solutions?
There is an increasing number of
elders
, trying to rival youths for the same occupations which brings up a lot of issues
. For instance
, the former group may have difficulties dealing with technology
at work
as well as
the employer's concerns about their health issues
and productivity. This
essay will discuss both issues
and will suggest solutions.
While
many youngsters are dealing with unemployment and having stiff competition to get hired for a specific job, elders
might interfere to steal the chance from them and make this
even more competitive than before. Nevertheless
, as the working force of today must adapt themselves to technology
, older should learn how to use a computer for instance
if they intend to be employed. There is research claiming that most of the older generation are technophobes in nature and cannot deal with difficulties regarding the use of advanced technologies at the workplace such
as working with a specific software related to office work
, Moreover
, the time
with which they can work
efficiently is probably less than younger individuals due to
their either health issues
or their age. A prime example of that might be the time
a young employee of a bank could allocate to work
productively but the older one might not be able to deal with a huge amount of customers in a long time
.
Nonetheless
, creating a learning environment at work
for all age groups, especially how to work
with specific means of technology
such
as computers, fax machines, and printers could be beneficial to both generations. This
not only connects these people to each other but it also
fosters youths to use the elders
' experience. In addition
, for the productivity issue, employers can arrange flexible working hours for the older individuals, giving them some time
to take longer breaks compared with the younger ones to increase their efficiency. Research in 2010 in a paper factory in Iran revealed that their older employees worked about 20 per cent more efficiently than their younger colleagues if they were given longer rest, as they were more experienced and could work
faster.
In conclusion, there is an increasing demand for elders
to work
again, although
they might encounter challenges of productivity as well as
technology
. despite all these problems, a warm learning environment and a time
to give a break to this
generation might be a good solution to this
issue and may one day bring all age groups together again.Submitted by abolfath50 on
