Delaying retirement is imperative! The elderly are not competitive enough. How to solve their employment dilemma?

Let’s talk about the re-employment of the elderly after being laid off. At this stage, the level of population aging in our country has continued to increase, and the pressure on elderly care services has also continued to increase. In order to better deal with the problem of population aging and bring in more labor force, the country has promulgated many related policies, and delayed retirement is one of them. Judging from the current situation, delayed retirement is a major trend, but the specific implementation plan for delayed retirement at this stage has not been finalized. But obviously, delaying retirement is a policy that will definitely be implemented. I still think there will be a problem after delayed retirement is implemented, and that is the employment pressure on the elderly.

After all, compared with young people, the competitiveness of the elderly in the market is not that high. If there are no positions suitable for the elderly in the job market, the effect of delaying retirement cannot be fully realized. In other words, if you want to promote delayed retirement and make delayed retirement more meaningful, you must bring more jobs suitable for the elderly into society. But just recently, good news came about the employment of older students. According to Xinhua News Agency, the China Elderly Talent Network has been officially launched, but this represents the beginning of the establishment of an information platform network for outstanding elderly talents in my country. According to relevant data analysis, as of 2021, the population of our country aged 60 and above has exceeded 267 million, and this population accounts for 18.9% of the total population across the country. However, among them, younger people aged 60 to 69 account for more than half of the entire elderly population. But there are still some of these elderly people who are willing to work and have the ability to work.

After all, as our economic development level and living standards further improve, the average life expectancy of the population is also increasing. Even though many elderly people are 65 years old, their bodies are still strong and they still have the opportunity to work within their abilities. The establishment of this Chinese senior talent network provides a choice for seniors who are willing to find employment. It is understood that the China Senior Talent Network has more than 40 channels, including research and analysis of talent strategies that the elderly care about, talent expertise, job recruitment, volunteering for public welfare, education for the elderly, etc. It is worth mentioning that in order to meet the reading requirements of all ages, the China Senior Talent Network still sets permissions and unobstructed access buttons on the upper right side of the page. You can increase the font size at will and even use screen reading functions. It can be said that this talent information network construction is extremely heart-warming and personalized.

But judging from the current website, there are 81 positions listed on the China Senior Talent Network. These positions are currently located in Beijing, including doctors in nursing homes and sales of elderly care services. The salary of medical social workers, nursing staff, online customer service of elderly care services, etc. is basically 3,000 to 30,000. Currently, many companies in this society are gradually responding to the employment of elderly people, such as KFC. McDonald's waiter recruitment requirements mention that retired employees can be recruited as waiters. It stipulates that women must be 50 years old and men must be over 60 years old. Flexible work is implemented and they must work 4 to 5 days a week, 4 to 8 hours a day, and monthly. The salary is around 1,800 yuan to 3,500 yuan. However, this is a very good sign for older people who are willing to work. I firmly believe that as the number of jobs suitable for the elderly continues to increase, the employment dilemma of the elderly will gradually be solved. The implementation of delayed retirement will be smoother, and the problem of China's aging population will also be solved.
