The older people who need employment have to compete with younger ones.

What problems can

this create? what are some solutions?

It is true that there is competition between the old and the young in the job market. Several
problems have resulted from this tendency and they should be tackled by a number of effective
solutions from both individuals and governments

In competing with the young, the older has to face two main issues. Firstly, due to age
discrimination, older people can suffer more disadvantages when seeking the same positions as
young candidates. even when they have similar abilities and qualifications. As a result, a number of
them become unemployed, which prevents them from supporting their basic needs. Another
problem is that young people can easily adapt changes in work practices as the older cannot
compare the energy and enthusiasm with them. Hence, the older can easily get stress of coping with
the change in their job. which affects their health. For example research shows that there are more
than 65% of older workers get package or sleeplessness due to the presence of your job

Since such issues are serious, the government and individuals should take steps immediately to
address those problems. The first solution would be government can stop discrimination against
older workers, through the act of passing laws. For example Japan has increased the retirement age,
hence the older can still continue for working. Moreover, the government can encourage enterprises
to hire the old as they have experience in their sections. A second measures would be older workers
should be willing to update their skills through attending training courses. If younger colleagues also
help them to adapt to changes in the working environment, older workers will gain confidence and
improve their work performance

In conclusion, there are various negative consequences of increasing rivalry between the old and
the young in the job market and appropriate steps need to be taken to tackle these problems, not
only by the government but also by individuals
