Age and experience are important to the workforce in any country.

There are 2 points of view to look at this matter:

1. As you grow older, you will gain more experience and will be of a great help to the company. If you have got a lot of experience, working will never be a problem anymore, as you should be able to cope with stress and so on...

2. As you grow older, your reaction slows down, and you might be a burden to the company. The company might want to take in inexperienced workers so that they can save some money on their salary, especially during this period of time, where there is currently an economic downturn.

It all depends on the view point that you take.

  3. Old people,being slow in reaction, may not always be true. This should be looked into by a case-by-case basis. Old people can be efficient too.This is quite bad in a way to offer low-experienced workers low salaries as they may be capable workers who are hardworking and loyal to the company.
