I have a somewhat radical proposal to facilitate youth employment. However, as the proposal is quite radical, I am open to comments and corrections. I propose MANDATORY COMPULSION. I know many people who, although they already meet the conditions for retirement, do not retire for various reasons. The result is that his employer cannot recruit anyone else to fill his job. Even though he may not be very happy with his job (because it is not ambitious enough, because it does not add value, because it is already outdated), he cannot really do anything other than persuade him to make the most of the conditions he has. At the same time, he has a number of young unemployed people standing in front of his door who would like to take his job but cannot. Compulsory retirement would solve this. At the same time, it would be compulsory for them to take on a mentoring role for a year before retirement and to bring in younger people or their successors. However, as I am aware that some older people like their work and are still good at it, and that some employers may still need them, I would also suggest 'retirement work'. An employer could keep an employee who qualifies for retirement, but under a special contract. This 'retiree' would not occupy a post, but would be paid under a kind of royalty contract. These are usually considered as a material cost (the same applies to student work) and not as a cost for the employees. Equally, the state could be more charitable towards such work. I do not yet have a suggestion on how this could be resolved in relation to pensions. Either the 'pensioner' would get it, or he would get less of it, or he would not get it at all. The latter does not make sense, the percentage of the pension received is also open to debate, but receiving the full pension would not save the pension pot (after all, such a 'pensioner' would not be paying into the pension pot). This would give the employer a job to recruit younger and more ambitious jobseekers, while at the same time giving those 'pensioners' who can still bring something to the employer a job and an income. I am putting the proposal on the table for debate and, knowing that it is radical, I am open to any corrections and comments.
