This is very interesting. According to the report of the Central University of Finance and Economics, the average age of the urban labor force is increasing. The average age of migrant workers is getting older and older, with the average age increasing from 35 to 39. But in our real life, on social media, 35-year-old programmers who were eliminated from big factories and 35-year-old programmers can’t find a job abound. It seems that 35-year-old is already the end of their careers. The discrepancy between data and actual phenomena is actually two sides of the same coin. In real life, it is difficult to get a job at the age of 35, perhaps because it is difficult to get a job nowadays, and companies for the same position are more likely to recruit cheaper and younger people; and because middle-aged people have difficulty getting a job and their development paths are limited, the market is under great pressure , middle-aged couples are more reluctant to have children, and the decline in fertility rate will naturally exacerbate aging… This may already be a vicious circle.
