Should the 35-year-old recruitment age limit be abolished if retirement is delayed?

Should be cancelled.

Nowadays, whether it is civil servant recruitment or corporate recruitment, the age of 35 is a hurdle, and at the age of 40, there are almost no units that want it. Before implementing the progressive delayed retirement plan, can we first cancel the 35-year-old recruitment age limit to solve the employment difficulty problem of people over 35 years old unable to find a job?

Not only in the civil service examination, but also in corporate recruitment, whether state-owned or private, except for special positions that have separate requirements, most recruitments are also limited to people under 35 years old.

Industry analysts believe that before implementing progressive delayed retirement, it is necessary to eliminate the institutional barriers to the 35-year-old age requirement in actual recruitment. In terms of employment discrimination, not only civil servants, but also general positions in society cannot distinguish applicants based on age, gender, etc. From the perspective of fairness, it is unreasonable to limit the age of application.

In the current fierce employment competition environment, not only the age requirement for civil servant recruitment is under 35 years old, many companies also limit the threshold for recruiting employees to 35 years old. 35 years old seems to be It has become the “life and death line” in the workplace (according to Hualong.com). This increasingly prominent "35-year-old phenomenon" in the workplace has triggered heated discussions among netizens.

Those departments and companies that delineate the age of 35 as the "life and death line" in the workplace are inappropriate and suspected of age discrimination. The Civil Servant Law, which came into effect in 2006, only stipulates that the age requirement for civil servants is 18 years of age or older, without setting an upper limit. This follows legislative rules and reflects the legislative intention of not engaging in age discrimination and the need to protect citizens' rights. The upper age limit set in civil servant recruitment is obviously not in compliance with the law.

Chongqing once conducted an online survey on the age limit for recruitment. 8 netizens thought it was not discrimination, 43 netizens said the age limit was discrimination, 23 netizens thought it should be appropriately relaxed to 45 years old, and 26 netizens said they were not interested in it. interest. It can be seen from this that 67 netizens think that the 35-year-old "life and death line" is age discrimination or have objections.
