Competing Young And Old # Essay For IELTS

Nowadays, more and more young people are competing with the old for the same job.

What problem does it cause and suggest a solution?

Times have changed and in these changing times, the competition levels have increased leaps and bounds. It has also brought about a tryst between the young and the older generation for the job, leaving both of them emaciated.

The biggest issue created with this new competition is that the young people have to compete with the older ones, who are more experienced, leaving them often unemployed. Secondly, the crime levels have increased since increased unemployment causes greater unrest among young people. Thirdly, unemployment at the older age, also leaves them financially upset. Poverty at the age when they cannot find new work is disheartening.

One effective solution could be to provide older people with social benefits so that they can retire without losing their social status. The second option to avoid the crisis is to fix some jobs for people of older as well as young, leaving competition for the other set of seats. Another possible answer is to offer a job share between elderly and young people so that both groups can gain some form of employment. Alternatively, older people can be employed to purely to pass on their knowledge and experience to the young rather than taking their jobs.

Overall, the issues do exist because of the competition among younger and older generation and can be avoided if there is a perfect balance maintained in order to ensure no one has to face the crisis of unemployment.
