have to suffer from pain and chronic diseases so that old age hinders them enjoy their
life. It's common sense that with the shortage of physicians, the elderly can't involve in
many activities from work to entertainment like young people. For instance, some old
men are wise, but they limit their enterprises because they get sick often. Additionally, it's
inconvenient for old people to ask for home care support even for their most personal
activities. However, if relatives don't give assistance health care for the elder, they won't
be able to take care of themselves due to physical disabilities. Consequently, to take

The second benefit of being young is that it could create many opportunities for
people to work. Many companies have a competitive requirement about age range
because they believe that young employees will perform better than old people. It's

adapt to new environments faster and more creatively [2]. Indeed, the young generation
tends to update new technology consequently so that they will get hired than the old one.
In addition, many specific occupations prefer young and beautiful employees such as
actress, singer, flight attendant, receptionist. So at a young age, people will have so

new job at mid-age if they get fired. It's easy to understand because the recruiters used
to select dynamic characteristics over experience. Besides, even expert employees meet
obstacles since the company afraid that they have to pay them a higher salary than
junior. For instance, many senior workers accept the occupation they don't enjoy
because they were concern that they couldn't find a new job in the competitive labor
market nowadays. As a result, if an employee doesn't want to eliminate in the race of
ages, he or she will have to equip well with knowledge and essential skills from the early
year of the career.
