Why are many bosses unwilling to recruit hard-working middle-aged people aged 40 to 55 as employees?

Personally, it is because their health, flexibility of thinking, energy and physical strength, and educational level are not as good as those of young people, and the training targets of enterprises are generally young people.

1. The health status is not as good as that of young people: the health status of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties is definitely not as good as that of young people, and their physical functions are gradually declining. No matter how they are prevented and maintained, there will still be some health problems to some extent, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. They are much more likely to get sick than young people, and this physical condition, especially in cities with fast pace of life, has a great impact on their work.

2. Low education level: The education level of people in their 40 s and 50 s is generally lower than that of young people, because after graduating from high school, these people did not expand their enrollment in universities, and the low level of education they received was not enough for them to get better jobs; On the other hand, young people are highly educated, so the chances of finding a job are higher than theirs, and the boss is unwilling to recruit them.

3. Poor thinking flexibility: People in their forties and fifties have fixed traditional thinking patterns, and it is not easy to accept the company's cultural ideas and the boss's working ideas, and it is not as fast as young people to accept new things. Therefore, managers in enterprises are more inclined to recruit young people, even only for fresh graduates. They would rather train young people than recruit a middle-aged person easily.

4. Poor energy and physical strength: Middle-aged people in their forties and fifties can't keep up with the development of the company. At present, most companies generally work overtime. If they are busy all night and lack of sleep, it will have a great impact on the next day's work; Young people, on the other hand, will still be alive and kicking when they go to work the next day, even if they endure it for one day.

5. The training target is not middle-aged: employees in their forties and fifties are basically stereotyped in their career development, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough. But young people under 40 are different. They are not completely stereotyped and have a lot of room for development. For the boss, it is more important to look at the future potential of employees than to recruit an employee who can see the future.
