45 years old is the golden age of life, especially for skilled workers. Why are some enterprises unwilling to recruit them?

Many middle-aged and elderly skilled workers aged 45 and above will be "eliminated" by the times and society because of their backward technology, backward ideas, backward thinking, declining physical strength and exorbitant asking price. However, those skilled workers with core technology and core value are still sought after by enterprises. Enterprises are unwilling to recruit middle-aged people over 45 years old, which has both their own problems and the responsibilities of the times and society. Generally speaking, there are several reasons:

1 the problems brought by the times.

At present, middle-aged people over 45 are basically born in the 1970s. At that time, the proportion of college entrance examination was very low, and more than 80% of high school graduates did not have a university. Only 20% of this group can go to college. Don't forget that 50% of their peers don't even have a chance to go to high school. At that time, college students were called "favored children".

Most can only be workers. At that time, enterprises were basically state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises, and most of them were traditional industries. Up to now, it has been 27 years since they were 18 to 45 years old. When they reach middle age, their energy drops, but times have changed greatly. Traditional industries decline and sunrise enterprises rise. Artificial intelligence and automation mechanization are replacing a large number of traditional jobs and general jobs, facing unprecedented unemployment "impact".

We can't completely blame middle-aged people for not learning, making progress, transforming and upgrading. Excuse me: When you are 45 years old, can you still recite English, read the original text and read foreign language operation instructions? Therefore, to answer this question, you must put yourself in the other's shoes and take care of yourself. Shouldn't it be a social responsibility to protect the sense of security of the elderly? How can you blame middle-aged people for not working hard? Didn't they work hard before? Some old workers have cultivated into eight-level fitters with first-class technology. However, this era is "stamping" and there is no need for fitters! Can you blame them for not working hard and not transforming? Shouldn't society be responsible for them?

2 the depression of traditional industries.

Middle-aged people over the age of 45 mainly enter state-owned enterprises in traditional industries during their employment years. In their youth, it was also an era of fierce struggle. They used superb technology. However, the current era has developed into an era of science and technology, network, information and e-commerce. Artificial intelligence has largely replaced technical posts and accommodated the employment of thousands of enterprises. It has also been impacted by the network and e-commerce.

There is sea water on one side and flame on the other. Traditional industries and general posts are faced with hardships and cold water such as laid-off, unemployment and reemployment difficulties. Emerging industries such as Internet, big data, e-commerce, live broadcast, and science and technology are constantly rising, but these emerging industries are all young people with knowledge and professionalism. Moreover, they are also "implicated" internally, and they face "elimination" at the age of 35. How can they recruit skilled workers over 45?

3 Traditional technologies have been eliminated.

Our company used to need more than 600 people for a dock, but now it only needs 20 people. They can operate the information system of the monitoring center to make the whole terminal run efficiently. In the past, there were 10 departments, 6 subsidiaries and more than 600 workers who managed the wharf. They were quarreling every day, but they still couldn't do it neatly. Now with the rise of artificial intelligence and big data technology, only 20 people are enough.

It turned out to be drivers, forklift drivers, turners, fitters, loaders, maintenance workers and so on. What can be replaced by mechanization has been replaced, and what can be reduced has been reduced. They are either diverted to logistics posts or retired early for living expenses. Their technology was excellent in those years and was needed by enterprises, but now, these traditional technologies have been "eliminated"

4 College students' supply exceeds demand.

In 2022, there were as many as10.97 million graduates, and there were tens of millions of graduates from vocational high schools and vocational and technical colleges. More than 20 million young people want to flood into big cities, good enterprises and coastal areas, resulting in oversupply of labor. This is the cruelest fact! Young people can't find jobs, let alone middle-aged people. Enterprises require a bachelor's degree to recruit skilled workers. Do old workers who have graduated from technical schools over 45 still have a chance to "knock"?

4 Middle-aged people's own reasons.

This group of middle-aged workers, with low academic qualifications and poor learning ability, find it difficult to learn new knowledge and master new technologies. They are old, experienced, have mortgages in the middle, have low wages, can't support their families, and have high wages. Enterprises think that the cost performance is not cost-effective, and of course they are unwilling to hire them. 45-year-old workers ask for 6000 yuan, and 20-year-old young people ask for 3000 yuan. If you were the boss, who would you hire? This is a "hard wound" left by the times, which cannot be solved by middle-aged groups or enterprises at all. How can an enterprise survive without profit?

Five solutions.

He who tied the bell must untie the bell. It is easy for middle-aged people to lose their jobs, but it is difficult to get re-employed. This is a problem caused by the times and society, which should be solved by society, not enterprises. If enterprises want to survive and develop, it is natural to pursue low cost. Can't let enterprises increase costs to recruit middle-aged people? So, how to solve this contradiction? The society should shift and bear the "cost of the times", give enterprises a certain "recruitment subsidy" or give tax relief policies, and encourage enterprises to recruit middle-aged unemployed people over 45, so that both enterprises and employees can benefit.
