Dear Friends,
I think we are entering into the period of baby boomers and as per US the first batch of baby boomers have started from 2006. It is estimated that employers will consider employing large number of work force above the normal retirement age which is 65, and the retirement age will be extended.
So more and more companies will have to accomodate and employ candidates above 60years with flexible or reduced work timings. This could be cause of low birth rate due to nuclear families, single parents, divorce and other reasons.
Thus I feel that age is no more a constraint to employ a candidate if he/she is eligible and can perform essential functions.
Please correct me if Im wrong & is India also facing such a situation can someone give input on this.
Thanks
Shahed
