The employment world is changing. More and more people are working into their so-called retirement years. Some want to work because they need the money. Others work for the benefits (pension savings, health benefits, social, etc.). Many others wish to embark on new career paths. Unfortunately, older workers are not always valued. In 2010 Belgium has 2.4 million residents over the age of sixty. And that number continues to grow. More and more people are working into their so-called retirement years. Unfortunately, age discrimination still persists. Statistics show that only 8 percent of Belgian companies hire employees over the age of 50. Those who are employed also tend to face age-related prejudices from younger colleagues. What causes this negative attitude towards mature employees and what can be done to counter it? AssistantPlus.be took a closer look at the problem and offers a number of tips and tricks to help you to stay in you current job or find new work. |
