You should include at least 2 ideas in each body (whatever you want, but you have to pay attention to the language you use)
Number 1: You believe the advantages are more significant than the disadvantages.
Over the past few years, people choosing not to retire when they are aged has become a prevalent and recognised phenomenon in some nations. While there are admittedly several drawbacks, I believe that the positive influences of this growing phenomenon are more glaring. This essay will elucidate some possible reasons why the pros could overshadow the cons of this issue.
On the one hand, in some countries, there are some clear disadvantages for the elderly in the working place. To begin with, this issue can be responsible for the redundancy in labour resources. Since the positions are scarce in the market and the old generation thoroughly occupies those, there may be no more vacancies for the young to apply to. As a result, the unemployment rate of young people facing this phenomenon will dramatically increase. Moreover, this issue can lead to the fact that the citizens living and working in that nation may make a decision to migrate to other nations for more job opportunities. In addition, the skills and knowledge of the elderly can be obsolete for the employment requirement. As the labour market will obviously request some new skills related to technology and science, the old workers may not be up to the standard of the market’s needs. Given the fact that they mainly rely on handicraft skills, what they get used to doing during their previous working period. Consequently, they can not apply those outdated skills into practice and may slow down not only their but also the whole company’s process.
On the other hand, I strongly believe that the benefits of this phenomenon are also considerable for the countries to focus on. Firstly, in terms of the company’s benefits, the elderly could share their previous experience with the younger generations. Based on the elderly’s knowledge and tips gained during their working period, young people could take advantage of those available resources to make a shortcut when working. Therefore, they could enhance the productivity of their work. Secondly, in terms of themselves, they would not become a burden to their family, especially the children, when they still have a job. This could be because some companies do not have a pension policy for the old workers. Thus, when they want to be independent and do not need to rely completely on their offspring for their living standard, older adults are still entitled to keep on their work, which would result in harmony when living with their offspring.
In conclusion, despite some of the given counterarguments of whether some nations let older people work or not, I personally still wholeheartedly believe that the advantages of this phenomenon can outweigh its disadvantages.
Number 2: You believe the disadvantages are more significant than the advantages.
Over the past few years, people choosing not to retire when they are aged has become a prevalent and recognised phenomenon in some nations. While there are possible several benefits, I believe that the negative influences of this growing phenomenon are more significant. This essay will elucidate some possible reasons why the cons could overshadow the pros of this issue.
On the one hand, some people claim that there are some clear advantages to the elderly in the working place that countries need to focus on. To begin with, in terms of the company’s benefits, this phenomenon can play a role as an effective tool in training the young generation in the firm. Due to their long working period, the elderly can transmit their previous experience to the younger generations. Based on the elderly’s knowledge and tips gained during their working period, young people can take advantage of those available resources to make a shortcut when working. Therefore, they will enhance the productivity of their work. In addition, in terms of themselves, they will not become a burden to their family, especially the children, when they still are still able to earn a living. This can stem from the fact that some companies do not have a pension policy for the old employees. Thus, in order to not need to rely completely on their offspring for their living standard and be able to fend for themselves, older adults are still entitled to continue their work, which can remain in family harmony when living together with their offspring.
On the other hand, I strongly support the idea that the disadvantages for the elderly in the working place are more significant than the benefits it could bring. Firstly, this issue could be responsible for the redundancy in labour resources, which means they lack available work. Since the positions are limited in the market and the old generation thoroughly occupies those, it results in no more vacancies for the young to apply to. As a result, those nations would witness a significant increase in the unemployment rate of young people. Secondly, this issue could lead to the fact that the citizens living and working in that nation might make a decision to migrate to other nations for more job opportunities. In addition, the skills and knowledge of the elderly are too obsolete for the employment requirement. As the labour market would obviously request some new skills related to technology and science, the old workers might not be up to the standard of the market’s needs. Given the fact that they mainly rely on handicraft skills, what they get used to doing during their previous working period. Consequently, they could not apply those incapable skills into practice and may slow down not only their but also the whole company’s process.
In summary, despite some of the given counterarguments of whether some nations let older people work or not, I personally still wholeheartedly believe that the disadvantages of this phenomenon can outweigh its advantages.
Number 3: You believe the advantages and disadvantages are equally significant.
Over the past few years, people choosing not to retire when they are aged has become a prevalent and recognised phenomenon in some nations. While there are possible several benefits it could bring, I believe that the negative influences of this growing phenomenon are also considerable. This essay will elucidate some possible reasons why the pros and cons of this issue are equally significant.
On the one hand, I believe this phenomenon has some positive influences. Not being a burden to their family, especially their offspring, is the obvious one. Given the fact that they have to depend thoroughly on the children since there might be no retirement and pension policy in their company. Thus, to prevent some conflicts and maintain family bonds with the members, especially the children, the elderly choose to keep on their careers, which means they could earn enough to fend for themselves. In addition, the aged can play as an effective tool to help their companies in training new workers. Due to their long working period at the firm, the elderly are qualified enough to share their previous experience with the younger generations. By transmitting the knowledge and tips that the old workers have gained during their previous working experience, young people could take this advantage of those available resources to make some shortcuts when processing tasks. Therefore, they will enhance the productivity of their work.
On the other hand, besides some advantages they as well as the company could receive, the disadvantages for the elderly in the working place are also relatively significant. Firstly, this issue could be responsible for the redundancy in labour resources, which means they lack available work if this issue still goes on. Due to the fierce competition in the labour market, the elderly early occupy those vacancies, which results in the lack of job opportunities for the young generation. As a result, those nations would witness a significant increase in the unemployment rate of young people, which could lead to the migration of these young employees to other countries. Secondly, some elderly workers’ skills are too outdated and inappropriate for the current market’s needs. Due to the remarkable development of technology, all workers are required to acquire more skills related to technology, which has to be up to the modern standard of the market’s needs. However, with handicraft skills, which are inapplicable much nowadays, those people could slow down the manufacturing process.
In summary, despite some of the given counterarguments of whether some nations let old people work or not, I believe that we should consider both sides of this phenomenon equally due to the aforementioned advantages and disadvantages.
