China has entered the old age society. Is it in line with the labor law to hire people over 70 as doormen?

China has entered the old age society. According to the results of the seventh census, in 20021year, the elderly population over 60 years old in China reached more than 260 million, accounting for 18.7% of the total population, among which the elderly population over 65 years old reached1900,000, accounting for 13.5% of the total population. With the development of society and social economy, the population growth rate continues to decrease, the proportion of the elderly population in China will continue to rise, and the situation that the elderly continue to work will be a normal state for a long time to come.

In the recruitment enlightenment of various places, we can also see the urgent demand for security guards over 70 years old. Judging from some recruitment revelations, the age of security guards has been raised to 70. Some of the 70-year-old people have received the most basic endowment insurance fund for urban endowment insurance, which belongs to retired workers, and some have received the pension for urban residents, but all those who have received the pension for urban residents have got it because the pension insurance fund is very low, although at the age of 70, as long as it is appropriate.

Large or high-end residential areas are generally supervised by property management companies, and the security personnel in the residential areas are relatively young. Most of the security guards in many communities are over 40 years old, and only the workers engaged in cleaning in communities are very old, basically around 60 years old. This kind of position is generally unwilling by young people, but it is indispensable in daily life. It is not only a hard, dirty and tiring technical job, but also a technical job with the lowest salary level. Young people don't want to do it, only very old people recruit internships. This is the reality at this stage.

In addition to this large and medium-sized high-end residential areas, there are many old residential areas in China, all of which are scattered. Each yard is just one or two houses, and there is no more professional property management company to supervise it. There are also relatives' houses, which belonged to the department before the high-end residential area. More professional property service companies are unwilling to supervise such communities, so they have to recruit one or two people as security guards to undertake the filing of people entering and leaving the gate, and the management measures for receiving newspapers, magazines or express delivery.

Because this kind of security guards don't have a fixed income, they basically pay their salaries according to a few dollars a month or diversified expenses per household 10. Most of them need to work 24 hours a day, and their income is very low. No young people are willing to do this kind of work, but they can't help but hire people over 70 as doormen. This is also a helpless method.

There are many advantages for people over 70 to be doormen. First, after retirement, you can spend boring years, and you can get in touch with resident doctors every day, which is good for your health; Second, some elderly people have no pension, or the old-age insurance premium is very low. By being security guards, they can increase some income and deal with the problem of providing for the aged. Third, the sense of responsibility of the elderly over 70 years old is more severe, and the problem of principle is more serious.

Generally speaking, it is customary to employ people over 70 as security guards in many old residential areas without property management services. Although the Labor Contract Law stipulates the legal retirement age of employees, it does not require them to continue their business after retirement, and there is no limit on their length of service. As long as they are physically and mentally healthy, it is illegal to continue working. If there are no prohibitive provisions in laws and regulations, it is illegal.
