The soaring rate of unemployment of young people has caused a great loss to the economy. Some suggest eliminating senior workers who are older than 55 is the solution to this problem. I strongly opposed to this idea.
The unemployment rate will decrease, in general, if more senior employees retire since that means there will be more vacancies available. In addition to that, youngsters seem to be more creative and better with modern technology - which are getting more and more important in many fields. However, I believe the drawbacks of this idea totally outweigh its benefits.
Firstly, though younger employees are more innovative, most of them are usually lack of practical experience, which means that, if all people who are older than 55 retire, there will be a shortage of skilled labour force and this apply to any fields. Secondly, there is no reason for a healthy and talented high level employee to retire if he or she is doing well in his or her job as there will cost a lot of money, time and effort to find an foster an employee who are capable of doing the job. Moreover, this policy will discourage the faith and loyalty of the employees as well as lowering the work efficiency.
To conclude, age is definitely not the criteria to choose an employee as there are many other aspects that need to be concerned and to make senior employees to retire from high-level positions just because of their age will be harmful not only to companies but also society.
