Age and employment

| Wednesday, July 29, 2009 | | 0 comments »

In Western countries, they prefer to hire employees that have extensive work experience rather than age. I heard they also do not have a mandatory age for retirement. As long as you want to work and are able to work, you can still find employment.

I have noticed that in the Philippines job ads usually have age limits for applicants. Work experience is not an advantage here. Some employers even prefer to hire those who have just graduated from college. Call centers seem to be the only employment option for those who are over 40. Age is often the factor that will qualify or disqualify you for employment in the Philippines.

Isn't this practice discriminatory?
