Ali Zhang Yong: At present, post-90s employees account for 52%. Why are many young people in the it industry?

Because the it industry requires higher physical strength and thinking ability, and post-90s employees have greater advantages in this respect, many young people are engaged in this industry.

There is a widely accepted saying in the It industry that after the age of 35, if you don't achieve much, you are likely to be eliminated by this industry. It can also be confirmed from some current data that more than 50% are young people.

First, the It industry requires higher thinking ability. In terms of thinking ability, in fact, young people will have a greater advantage, because many post-90 s employees in Alibaba basically have very high academic qualifications, generally above 985. Such people are not only rich in knowledge, but also have greater advantages in thinking ability than old employees.

Second, young people are more satisfied. The most important thing is that young people are more satisfied, because the old employees are basically married and are seriously bound by their families. If the salary is low, then these people will not work hard, while young people are just the opposite. A small salary can enable these young people to do more things.

Third, young people can work overtime more. The reason why a company like Alibaba can have such a great development is because Alibaba has higher requirements for its employees, and many employees are forced to work overtime. Older employees are more likely to refuse to work overtime, so they will recruit more young people.

There has always been a demographic dividend in China. In short, the labor force in our country is not short of internet giants, and it is more inclined to young people in the process of recruiting personnel. The wages of young people are lower than those of old employees, so some old employees will be eliminated.
