Cover comment | Helping the "re -employment" of the elderly for the elderly is a win -win move.

Recently, the reporter learned from the China Aging Association that the official launch of the Chinese Elderly Talent Network marks the launch of the construction of the elderly talent information service platform in my country. It can be seen from the webpage that China Elderly Talent Network has a total of 81 positions, and the posts are in Beijing, including the dean of the pension institution, the elderly sales, medical social workers, nurses, pension customer service, etc. Essence This shows that recruitment has retired, but the elderly with their willingness to work and work ability have been fully launched.

Retired elderly people play their residual heat in various ways. It was originally a common phenomenon. Many of them have returned to the labor market and realized "second employment". It should be said that the related recruitment platforms and employment behaviors have always existed. This time, the Chinese elderly talent network is more concerned because of its official background. It must be acknowledged that commercial job job recruitment websites and APPs are mainly positioned as serving young people. In contrast, China's elderly talent network focuses on the "love", "suitable for the elderly" and "helping the elderly" in the employment market, and its significance is obvious.

The launch of this website caused heated discussions on the Internet, and some netizens said with ridicule that this was "the elderly came out and snatched the young people." Similar judgments are purely considerate. It should be clear that as a recruitment platform, its function is nothing more than to match the supply and demand of the labor market, without increasing the supply of labor. The elderly who have the ability to work, the willingness to work, and may realize the re -employment will not become more because of the launch of a website. The value of such platforms is more of technical convenience and reliable information screening to protect the rights and interests of the elderly for the elderly, so that they will lose less pits and less detours.

In the end of the end of various "pit old" routines, the elderly who are interested in job hunting really need a pure, authoritative, trustworthy and "aging" recruitment website. As far as the entire society is concerned, promoting the re -employment of the elderly for the elderly is also extremely important for re -employment and preventing labor costs and avoiding excessive rise in service prices. Especially with the retreat of the demographic dividend, it is necessary to fully explore the employment potential of the elderly, and it is even more important. In the final analysis, this is a win -win move.

The elderly are by no means a burden on society, but precious human resources. As of 2021, China ’s 60 -year -old population was more than 267 million, accounting for 18.9%of the total population of the country, of which 60 to 69 -year -olds accounted for more than half of the age of 60 and over. With the improvement of nutritional and medical levels, the aging society ushered in the longevity era. We must treat and take care of the elderly well, and we should also provide a stage to help the elderly to achieve value and create value.
