Screenshot of online votingStanding on the threshold of 35 years, faced with the choice to change professional development course, do you take the initiative to step forward or passively fall into a dead end?
During both sessions this year, Jiang Shengnan, a representative of the National People’s Congress and a researcher at the Wenzhou University School of Humanities, proposed abolishing the age limit for national officials under 35 years of age, which drew attention and discussion about the “35-year job search crisis” among netizens.
Jiang Shengnan’s suggestion points to Article 18 of the current civil servant hiring regulations: applicants for civil servants must have the qualifications of “18 years of age or older and 35 years of age or less.”
“Don’t say I’m 35, I was already anxious when I was only 30. The age limit is really terrible.” “Not just civil servants. Many jobs are now turning away job applicants over 35. It’s embarrassing to find a” It’s time to go back to the workplace to show off “… Mothers who are eager to return to the workplace. Work and those who are concerned about being “involved” in the workplace are talking about workplace anxiety caused by age.
Sangsukelai, an expert who has long studied the civil service exam record, believes that this hiring issue, triggered by the age limit of civil servants, has attracted widespread attention because it has captured the weak points. social problems of the difficulties of older youth in obtaining employment.
Why is the age of 35 a threshold for hiring public servants?
Looking at the comment area of the topic, it is not difficult to find that many netizens support Jiang Shengnan’s suggestion.
Jiang Shengnan believes that the abolition of the age limit for national civil servants can help revitalize the labor enthusiasm of the 35-50 year-old workforce and cope with the aging society that my country is about to enter.
From the perspective of the entire labor market, Sang Zhulai recognized the positive importance of this proposal. He believes that lowering the age threshold of the civil service industry leads to boosting and affecting other industries, thereby activating the entire labor market.
If it has a positive meaning, can the age threshold for running as a civil servant be abolished completely? Some experts said it is necessary to consider and explore holistically.
“The age to apply for public officials cannot be older than 35 years, because the public examination only selects the bosses and the inferiors, while those who are above the deputy department are resolved through communication, selection and internal promotion “. Sangsuke believes that whether it is to Promote self-training and growth of young people is still based on the consideration of the talent training system, and it is reasonable to limit the age for examination and admission.
Sang Zhulai suggested that if the age limit for civil servants is relaxed, it should be implemented alongside expanding the ranks of civil servants and considered as a whole. “For example, raising the level of applicants from below the chief staff member to below the second-level investigator, or opening the corresponding positions for some technical positions.”
Jiang Yaodong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former vice president of the China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), believes that there are many factors that determine the age limit of civil servants.
Like personal energy. Jiang Yaodong, who is in his 60s, scoffed that his energy is not as good as it used to be: “It’s okay to stay up all night before the age of 30. If you’re over 30, you can’t bear it if you don’t. Don’t sleep through the night. ” He believes that “government departments must inject new vitality to protect the team. Sustainable development “.
Jiang Yaodong is also concerned about the growing “public exam fever”: “If there is no age limit, there will be more applicants, resulting in a lower admission rate, leading to many social conflicts.”
Lei Mingqiang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Dean of the Hunan Provincial Institute of Socialism, suggested that, while maintaining the overall stability of the current policy, pilot tests can be conducted in some regions and positions, and Channels outside the unified examination should be opened to allow older people. Candidates apply for the exam. He also suggested increasing the proportion of the comprehensive capacity assessment and the quality of the corresponding candidates.
“Smart managers won’t set age limits”
Jiang Shengnan said in a media interview that the “35-year crisis” is an unreasonable restriction on corporate recruitment. “The 35-year-old is in the midst of getting rich and powerful. After several years of polishing, they are at a mature stage in terms of work, business and sophistication.” These words expressed the aspirations of some netizens.
“From an objective point of view, the ’35-year-old phenomenon’ does exist. You can see that there is an age limit of 35 years when looking for work. If this age is exceeded, there will be discrimination and prejudice,” he explained Zheng Bingwen, director of the research center, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences of World Social Security also believes that this is also the result of market choice.
Zheng Bingwen believes that it is necessary to promote companies to actively fulfill their social responsibilities and try to avoid the “35-year-old phenomenon”.
How to avoid it? Hu Xianzhong, a researcher at the China Youth Research Center, spoke three words: “Be tolerant.”
He said that starting from the business and social level, the construction of a modern society requires more inclusive concepts. A company is an important supporter of the national economy, and it must also be a bearer of social responsibility and a diffuser of social civilization. The search for economic benefits and the assumption of social responsibilities are not contradictory, but must complement each other.
Hu Xianzhong believes that smart business management will not consider age as a condition for employment. The key is to observe the needs of the job and “not stick to a pattern to reduce talent.” The more important the position, the higher the age limit for job applicants.
“In a sense, with the continued construction of modern society, its tolerance will become stronger and stronger. Everyone should be the facilitator of modern society, not bystanders, or even cynics.” Hu Xianzhong proposed to tolerate young people diversified characteristics and diversified options, respect their pursuit of values and work dedication, and jointly create a social climate conducive to the healthy growth of young people.
Zheng Bingwen believes that delaying retirement can reduce job pressure and help young people open up more job opportunities. Once the legal retirement age is increased, the average age of the employee group will increase accordingly.
He mentioned a set of statistics: In the early 1950s of the founding of New China, the average age of the population in my country was only 23.9 years, but in 2020 it will increase to 38.4 years, and It is expected to be up to 45.0 years by 2035. In the same way, after increasing the legal retirement age, the average age of the employed group will also increase.
In both sessions this year, the government’s work report proposed that “average life expectancy will increase by one more year.” Zheng Bingwen believes that raising the retirement age does not have a negative impact on youth employment, but it does have a positive meaning.
He concluded: “The increase in average life expectancy will increase the average age of the country’s population accordingly; after the legal retirement age increases, the average age of the employed group will also increase, resulting in the age of 35 years limit. Employment pressure has the effect of reducing employment and can promote employment for more people after the age of 35. “
Netizens argue heatedly
@ 潘 高: It is recommended to abolish the limit for freshmen (shangshou). We worked hard to study, but we were approved (eliminated) by the “graduate students” recruiting unit.
@Waiting to fight: break the 35-year limit and extend it appropriately at 40.
@Winyetutu: Not only civil servants, but also public institution exams should also relax their age restrictions. After all, retirement will be delayed in the future.
@tanh: Not recommended. Grassroots officials are best recruited from the young. When they are older, they are old fritters. Equipment purity cannot be guaranteed. Senior talent would have spread to age 40.
@ 乖乖 宠: To prevent some people who do not contribute to the country but who want to eat the national dividend from mixing with officials, the purpose of some officials is nothing more than stability and good treatment of officials.
@ 坚毅: There is no age limit in universities, why do officials have them? Some jobs are more suitable for people with rich life experience, it is recommended to pay pensions according to the years of work.
@ 春暖花开: There is no obvious discrimination, can’t the accumulated experience of company staff push government departments to operate better?
