In present times, more and more young people need to compete with the old people for the same job. This has caused some issues in work place. Today, we will look at some of the possible issues and the possible solutions.

Problem caused by young and old people competing for a job

1. young people competing with old people would mean less chance of winning among young as old always bring with them the required experience.
2. Young people tend to shape the society. With the increased competition among young and old, unemployment is likely to rise causing social upheaval often leading to crime.
3. Old age is a age when people are more susceptible to issues such as insecurity and poverty. If old age people lose their job, they might not get another job, leading them to the trap of poverty.

Possible Solution

1. One effective solution could be to provide older people with social benefits so that they can retire without losing their social status.
2. The increased competition can be controlled if age for certain jobs is fixed or a quota for jobs among old and young is made.
3. The older people can also be employed to purely pass on their knowledge to the young rather than taking their positions at work.
