Research by the Chartered Management Institute found that employers are less open to hiring older workers than bringing in younger talent. The survey of more than 1,000 managers found that 74% are open “to a large extent” to hiring younger workers, especially between the ages of 18 and 34. But that percentage drops to just 42% for managers saying they would be open to hiring people aged between 50 and 64. For those aged between 34 and 49, just over six out of 10 were open to hiring them. Click here for more. Research from Ageing Better also shows that more than a third (36%) of 50-69 year-olds feel at a disadvantage applying for jobs due to their age.
