Where is the way for the elderly to find jobs?

Before retiring, I was a project manager in a foreign company. #58-year-old Tsinghua couldn't find a job with a salary of over 5, yuan after graduation. # With the frequent hot searches on topics such as employment of the elderly, the job-seeking needs of younger elderly groups are gradually being seen by the outside world. On February 22, the reporter found that most recruitment platforms have not yet opened up special areas for the elderly, and the elderly still use offline and friend introduction as the main channels in the job search process. Last August, China Senior Talents Network, which is aimed at the recruitment of the elderly, was officially launched. On this platform, the reporter started a dialogue with several elderly people who are looking for jobs. These elderly people are generally between 55 and 65 years old, and many of them are highly educated at undergraduate or even graduate level. However, these highly educated elderly people have repeatedly hit a wall in the process of job hunting, and even encountered no business interest. Some elderly people said that their career choices are very limited, and only basic positions such as cleaning and security can be chosen. So what else can the elderly do when they get re-employed outside the basic posts?

① Younger elderly people hit a wall in online job hunting

"Require people under 65 years old" and "Recruit retirees for financial managers around 55 years old" ... On China Senior Talents Online, the recruitment age of each position is relaxed to a space suitable for the elderly to choose. From the job information, basic jobs such as security, cleaning, parking lot manager and caregiver appear frequently.

Uncle Wang submitted his resume at the beginning of the website. At the age of 58, he graduated from Tsinghua University and worked as a project manager in a foreign-funded enterprise before his retirement. "My family is more supportive of my job search, and I am in good health and have the energy to work five days a week." Uncle Wang said that he is looking forward to finding a job as a management post, a consultant post and a training tutor post. There is no requirement for the scale of the industry and the company, and the salary is expected to be above 5, yuan.

Despite the double blessing of highly educated and working experience in foreign companies, Uncle Wang's "road to re-employment" is not smooth. "There are fewer recruitment companies on the website, and there are fewer companies that are professional counterparts." Uncle Wang told reporters that since August last year, when I applied for a job on the website and submitted my resume, almost no company has contacted me in the past six months.

Aunt Zhu, 57 years old with a bachelor's degree, is also in the process of finding a job. Unlike Uncle Wang, she prefers to choose a simple, relaxed and low-intensity job. "Waiter, matchmaker, I am willing to try these positions." Aunt Zhu said. But like Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhu also failed to find a job successfully.

It is one of the difficulties encountered by the elderly, represented by Aunt Zhu and Uncle Wang, that there are fewer enterprises recruiting the elderly and fewer suitable jobs.

② How many silver-haired jobs are there

According to the data of the seventh national census, there are 36.69 million people aged 6 and above with high school education or above, an increase of 2.85 million over 21; The proportion of people with high school education or above accounts for 13.9%. As the education level of the elderly is getting higher and higher, they can set foot in more and more positions.

However, judging from the current job-hunting situation of the elderly, many elderly people still learn about jobs mainly through offline channels such as friend introduction, and their work is also the basic job content such as cleaning and doorman. On the online side, except for China Senior Talents Network, most mainstream recruitment platforms have not set up a service area for the elderly, but some posts are marked with the words "Recruit retirees".

The reporter searched on a recruitment platform with "retirement" and "re-employment" as the key words. In addition to basic positions, there are also positions such as school doctors, custodian teachers, nurses and even anchors for the elderly. Shan Gong said that from the perspective of post setting, financial accounting, medical health, publishing and editing industries all welcome the elderly to join.

According to Lu Jiehua, a professor of sociology in Peking University, the employment of the elderly is diversified, and the elderly with professional skills usually have relatively high employment intentions, such as doctors and teachers. "It is very important to keep the employment of the elderly in a balance between supply and demand and enhance their social participation." Lu Jiehua said that in addition to paying attention to the balance between skills and posts, we should also consider adapting the elderly to the changes in the digital age. "Improving the literacy of the elderly in the digital age is also empowering their employment. In addition, employers should provide more opportunities to match employment with supply and demand. "# High-educated young people hit a wall in online job hunting # (beijing business today)

# High-educated young people hit a wall in online job hunting # 58-year-old people who graduated from Tsinghua can't find a job of 5,, so they can meet each other. Most of the old people graduated from junior high school and high school! They can basically only engage in manual labor, such as service industry, as waiters and cleaners. I don't know about the old people in the city, but the old people in the countryside have basically suffered from various diseases such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease because they have worked all their lives, so they have no job opportunities. My father applied for security, and people said no to 6, and they went to move vegetables in the early hours of the morning, which made them unable to eat. It is difficult for the rural elderly to live, because most rural elderly children are not living well by themselves, and most of them need the help of the elderly. When the old man is old, sick, unable to earn money, and his children can't take care of themselves, the old man leads a poor life. When he is sick, he is mostly treated simply and then dies.
