How to break the employment of the elderly?

Old people often run into a wall when looking for a job. Some people say that I graduated from Tsinghua, and I am 58 years old. I worked as a project manager in a foreign-funded enterprise before I retired. Now I want to find another job, but it is difficult to find a position above 5000 yuan. Some elderly people also said that the current career choices are very limited, and they can only choose basic positions such as security and cleaning. There are fewer enterprises that recruit the elderly, and there are fewer jobs with suitable counterparts. Then, where is the crux of the employment difficulties of the elderly?

Hu Zhan, vice president of the Institute of Aging at Fudan University, said that the proportion of the elderly population has been stable at 3%-5% for a long time in the long history of human society, so the increase in the number of elderly people and aging today are phenomena in modern society, so we are not prepared enough for this. Many systems of human society, especially the employment system, are designed around young people. We never thought that such a large number of elderly people would enter the employment sequence, so in fact, we were not prepared enough to develop, innovate and seriously think about jobs, industries and occupations suitable for the elderly. On the other hand, the concept of age also needs to be updated, so this may require the whole society to have a consistent value or concept upgrade.

Different online recruitment positions for the elderly in China have different academic requirements, but the overall academic requirements are not high, and 25% of the positions have no academic requirements. In contrast, college education is the most popular, requiring 37.5% of jobs; The one with the highest education is undergraduate, accounting for 18.8%. Positions include internal medicine director, department doctor, industry consultant, nursing home dean, equipment manager, etc. It is worth mentioning that among all 80 recruitment positions, there are no recruitment positions for master's and doctoral degrees.

In addition, nearly half of the recruitment positions do not require work experience, but 20% of the positions require more than 10 years of work experience.

Distribution cities: nearly half of them are in Beijing.

The second place is Guangzhou, and four companies provide 15 recruitment positions; In addition, the recruitment units in Shenyang and Ningbo provided 7 and 5 positions respectively, ranking third and fourth respectively. There are only a few jobs in Xianning, Wuxi, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou and other cities.

The Tenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Cause for the Aged and the Plan for the Service System for the Aged also mentioned that it is necessary to strengthen the employment service for the elderly and promote their social participation.
