　　Can abolishing the 35-year-old age limit start with civil servant recruitment?

　　Wu Mian (pseudonym) has been waiting for several months for the peak recruitment season of the new year.

Since the second half of last year, she has wanted to change jobs and find a more stable new job, but for the 38-year-old, she has suffered heavy blows one after another.

　　"Many units have age restrictions, and it's really difficult to change jobs over the age of 35." After working for more than ten years, Wu Mian called herself a "code-writer". She wanted to find a clerical position in state-owned enterprise propaganda and party building. , but the words "under the age of 35" are like a threshold, blocking her out.

Although she is very clear that compared with herself before the age of 35, she is more mature in her work and more sophisticated in writing. "The child is also older and has more time to devote to the workplace." But many recruiting hard levers are not because of job seekers. change by explanation.

　　In the workplace, Wu Mian's predicament is not unique. The age limit of 35 has caused many people to be full of anxiety about the future.

This workplace crisis has also resonated with deputies to the National People's Congress.

　　For two consecutive years, Jiang Shengnan, a representative of the National People's Congress and a researcher at Wenzhou University, has been paying attention to the "35-year-old crisis" in the workplace.

This year, she brought the abolition of the 35-year-old age limit for civil servants to the National Two Sessions, advocating the whole society to eliminate age discrimination in the workplace, and to help re-employment people break the 35-year-old crisis.

　　The 35-year-old age limit brings talent waste

　　Some positions require people with a calm mind

　　Jiang Shengnan is a well-known screenwriter and online writer. Her representative works include "The Legend of Miyue", "Sacred Order", "Iron-blooded Rouge" and "Yan Yuntai", etc. She has also accumulated a huge readership due to this.

　　"A large part of my readers are in the 35-year-old age group. I interact with them and understand some of the difficulties they face." Jiang Shengnan is very clear that the invisible age discrimination of 35 years old has always existed in the workplace, especially in recent years. In recent years, the number of people who are reemployed has increased, and the contradiction has become more prominent. "They did not lose their jobs because their knowledge level could not keep up. Some of them were even Kochi, and their experience level was good, but they were still stuck by the 35-year-old hurdle to find a job. ."

　　Jiang Shengnan analyzed that a person who graduated from university to the age of 35 has experienced several years of professional training. They are in a mature stage in terms of work, business and human sophistication.

"It would be a real shame if you couldn't go back to work because of age restrictions."

　　Jiang Shengnan's views and suggestions also made relevant practitioners feel the same.

"For some positions, we even think that people over 35 are more competent." The first day of the first year (pseudonym) works in the human resources department of a company in Hangzhou, and is currently busy recruiting and interviewing employees, "When recruiting management, we feel that after the age of 35 , People with certain experience, experienced work, and calm mentality are more competent, such as financial management positions, and the age of 35 should be a proper year."

　　Jiang Shengnan also said frankly that today’s young people are twenty-three or four-year-old after graduation, and twenty-six or seven-year-old after graduate school. After two or three years of work, they stabilized and began to get married and have children. In fact, it is also a relatively difficult stage in life." If this group of people is excluded from the workplace because of an age limit, it will not only bring about a huge waste of talents, but also be unscientific and unfair. "This restriction is equivalent to pushing them out. Do you still dare to marry and have children if you are in the state of being infiltrated and worried that you will be eliminated at any time? This restriction is not only aimed at the workplace, but also affects the marriage rate, fertility rate, workplace investment, career planning and other aspects. In fact, it is a big social problem. "

　　Remove the age limit for civil service recruitment

　　can serve as an example

　　How to improve the age limit of 35 in the workplace?

Jiang Shengnan believes that we can take the lead in the field of civil servant recruitment.

"It is unrealistic to ask all companies to abolish this restriction at once. The civil service recruitment examination can be the first checkpoint to be opened."

　　After verification, the 35-year-old age limit for civil servant recruitment originated from Article 16 of Chapter 4 of the "Regulations on the Recruitment of Civil Servants (Trial)" promulgated by Order No. 7 of the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China in 2007. Under the age of 35, "This is in line with the background of the times. In the past, you could enter social work after graduating from technical secondary school. It was still far from the age of 35, and retirement was relatively early. The retirement age is also being postponed, the requirements for recruiting civil servants are stricter, and the standards are more precise, so removing the age limit is actually not a big problem.”

　　In Jiang Shengnan's view, the abolition of the age limit of 35 years for civil servants will not allow people with insufficient ability to enter. Some positions will recruit people with rich social experience, which can even better serve the people.

　　Since he put forward relevant suggestions during the two sessions last year, Jiang Shengnan has also been praised by many netizens——

　　"Many companies have set a 35-year-old threshold for recruitment. If civil servants lift the restrictions, it will have a good demonstration effect on the whole society."

　　"In fact, some jobs require special experience and experience, but may require a certain age as a starting point. It is recommended to consider the actual needs of the position, rather than one size fits all. Competency may not be related to age."

　　...

　　She received many letters from netizens, who came from various fields and provided a lot of suggestions to help improve the content of the suggestions.

　　"Many of these netizens are corporate employees, and they don't really want to take the civil servant exam. Everyone is concerned about the impact of the 35-year-old age limit." Jiang Shengnan also emphasized that the main purpose of proposing to cancel the civil servant age limit is to be able to benefit the society. It plays an exemplary and guiding role, becomes a reference standard for social organizations and individual behaviors, and solves the discrimination against the "35-year-old threshold" in the job market. I still hope that the relevant departments will pay attention to it, push it forward, and give the society a clear message until this restriction is lifted."

　　Remove age restriction

　　Helps to improve the life and health of workers

　　Why does Jiang Shengnan insist on removing the 35-year-old age limit?

In her opinion, this restriction has led to introversion in the workplace.

"Why do we need to roll up? Because of fear of unemployment, we 'voluntarily' work overtime in exchange for overdrafting health in exchange for time." Jiang Shengnan said that part of the reason for the 35-year-old age limit in the workplace should be due to the fact that the working hours are too long. The employees' physical strength can't keep up. "If this restriction is lifted, it can also break the rhythm of involution."

　　In recent years, people from all walks of life have been talking about the "full life cycle" more and more, and they are also concerned about the overall health of the entire life cycle.

　　"Now that society has entered a period of stable economic growth, we should pay attention to the improvement of social and people's livelihood, welfare and security. The values ​​of 'work overtime, work overtime, and play games with hanging bottles' should no longer be promoted. A healthier and more orderly life, more time to run a family, participate in childcare, improve the value of life and health, and at the same time promote and promote social consumption as a whole.”

　　Heroes can only give workers a sense of security regardless of their age.

"Self-improvement, learning, running a family and raising children actually take time."

　　It is undeniable that many companies still have relevant age restrictions for positions similar to the Internet.

"I will feel that after this age, creativity and learning ability will decline relatively. But if you kill someone with one shot, you will indeed miss some talents."

　　To this end, Jiang Shengnan suggested that the abolition of the 35-year-old age limit requires advocacy and demonstration at the legislative level, as well as conceptual innovation at the level of social consensus, setting an example in the field of civil servant recruitment, and gradually loosening the 35-year-old job-seeking threshold, thereby reducing the burden brought by the age of 35. age anxiety.
