31、 will share their expert tips during a private Q and they often get rid of new young people because they are easier to fire. But in the previous recessions of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, older workers were also kicked out. This time is different. During the financial crisis in 2008, and since, they
32、have done better than other age groups.The researchers focus on changes in “non-employment” as a share of the total population of three age groups between the final quarters of 2007 and 2012. This measure has the advantage of including not just unemployment, where people are looking for work, but al
33、so inactivity, where people are not seeking jobs. While the average non-employment rate in the OECD has risen by four percentage points among young people and by one-and-a-half points among 25 to 54-year-olds, it has fallen by two points among the 55-64 age group.Why have older employees done so wef
34、l? In some southern European countries they benefit from job protection not afforded to younger workers, but that did not really help them in the past recessions. “What has changed,” says Stefano Scaqetta, head of the OECD, “is that firms now bear the full costs of getting rid of older staff.” The p
35、ast early-retirement schemes (方案）provided by governments (in the mistaken belief that these would help young people) made it cheaper to push grey-haired workers out of the door. These have largely been stopped.Job losses among older workers have also been more than offset (抵消）by falls in inactivity,
36、 reflecting pressures that were already obvious before the crisis. Older workers now have a sharper motivation to stay in employment because of the impact of the crisis on wealth. Besides, older workers are healthier than they used to be and work is less physically demanding. They are also more attr
37、active to employers than previous generations. Todays 55 to 64-year-olds are the advance group of the post-war generations who benefited from better education than their previous ones.Many will argue that older workers have done better at the expense ot the young That view is absurd. First, it is a
38、fallacy that a job gained for one person is a job lost for another: there is no fixed “lump of labor (劳动合成)”. And second, as the report shows, young and old people are in general not replaccrs in the workplace. They do different types of work in different types of occupation; younger people are more
39、 attracted by IT firms, for example, while older folks tend to be employed in more traditional industries. There are plenty of things that should be done to help the young jobless, but getting older workers out of the workplace is not one of them.61. The original purpose of the past early-retirement schemes provided by governments is to .A.cut the high cost of the elderly
