Age Discrimination

Age Discrimination is when decisions are made because of age. people around the world who look for jobs are all judged by their age, People say you are too young and immature to work or your too old because your above fifty , and unable to work, but these people have the right to work. Age doesn’t matter, the thing that matters is their ability to work.

Hiring people should be based on ability and employers use age to determine their qualities such as concentration, memory, and level of energy so, they pick people who are young because they are fit, full of energy and they could work for hours. Laws against age discrimination will lead to older people working and then the rate of old people will increase but rather then more work done, more money is lost because they have to buy supplies and take care of these elderly people.

Elderly people have the ability to work just like younger people, you can’t judge a person by his age but by his ability, strength, energy etc, employers should employ people by their experiences and abilities not by their age. Old people have a lot of experiences so; companies should hire old people to show the younger ones some wonderful and horrible experiences they had in the job. Thousands of people are becoming unemployed because of age discrimination. Companies should employ these people even though they might lose 15% of the total money but its better then having thousands of unemployed people wondering around the roads.

In conclusion, age discrimination is always used by companies and other places because all they think about is time and money that is gained and lost so, they don’t employ older and younger people. I totally disagree with age discrimination, people have all the right to work, They might be old but they have the experience and energy to work , they might be young but they might be clever and have experience so, no matter their age, they should be given a chance.
