Age really matters with job roles. There are certain jobs you cannot give to someone in his 50s. The position might need physical fitness or analytical thinking which a 59 year old man rarely gives you.

Majority of the organisation lay emphasis on age and they would categorically state that they are looking for certain people that falls in certain age bracket.

That depends on the type of job and the industry. I noted that in IT industry and investment banking industry, many senior posts are occupied by people in their thirties. For real estates industry and traditional banking industry, top management positions are usually taken up by people in their fifties.

There are jobs that are physically and mentally unsuitable for a person of a certain age range. So, the answer is Yes. Age has to be considered in giving out jobs.

Age is very important with job roles. You can't be carrying a 50 year old person to be teaching a nursery school of about grade 3. They would just stress him to his early grave.

It depends on the type of job. There are certain jobs which require physical strength and that is why employer prefers to hire youth for their jobs there are certain jobs which require a brain so for it an experienced person is preferred.

Do you think that the age of a person should be considered for a job role. Like getting an elderly person to be a manager than a much younger person because of age. What's your view?
In my opinion age should never be the only determining factor when it comes to hiring someone for a job. Sure there may be some advantages to having an older person in a management position but there are plenty of young people out there who are just as qualified if not more so.

I believe age should never matter with a job or be the only determining factor when it comes to hiring someone for a job. I know there may be some advantages as sometimes maturity comes with age

I agree with you. A man must be responsible and he must work to support his family.
I totally agree with you, even so there is nothing wrong if a wife continues to work with her husband's permission, without neglecting their main duties as a housewife. So working from home is a wise choice, there are many women's jobs that can be done from home.

Depending on the job profile, age does matters, kids and senior citizens are often described unfit for most of jobs, but I think kids learn experience, and senior citizens help with their experience.

Yes, I totally agree with you, the age of children and the elderly is difficult to find work in my country. unless they have their own business. So free there is no age limit, as long as you are able to run your business.

Here in my country if you are overage then you must not think about to get a job but in some countries like USA and Canada old age people can also get the job and they easily adjust in it.

Yes, it's like that in my country too, that's why we need to build our own business or have passive income to deal with old age. Many people are old age or retired they have their own business.

Of course. There are many earning opportunities for women online. Women can work from the comfort of their own homes.
