From my perspective, this policy is a positive development. However, I also found that rejecting a job applicant because of her or his age is reasonable in certain situation.
As the development of aging society, the age of employees has became older and older. Nevertheless, old age always represents aging body, so it could be a risk for companies to hire older employees, not only in huge expense on health insurance, but also facing a question on how to balance employees’ body healthy and company’s collective interest.
However, I can also see its negative impacts. Regulations and policies are medias to rule people’s behaviors. They help build a friendly and reasonable market environment. If no laws are implemented to develop the retiring environment, a quanties of questionable phenomenon could emerge immediately. For instance, enterprises will have stricter rules on employees’ age than now, which will no doubt result in the increasing of unemployment rate. Besides, it is public knowledge that human being all have their rights to choose and apply for work without restrictions. All of us are supposed to choose a job we want. Age monitory could against it.
In my opinion, the best solution to contain this positive development is to ask governments and authorities to take actions. Some discount on tax could release the financial burden of enterprises who hire the old.
