3. Apart from pay, what is important to people in a job?
Many people are looking for a stable position, with benefits such as insurance, holidays, a
maternal leave for women. In addition, many employees sign a contract with a company where they
feel they, will learn a lot through training and experience
.
Some young people are very ambitious
and want to improve themselves: On top of this, other aspects of work are essential: young people
hope they might get promoted and earn more money in the future; relationships with colleagues and
the atmosphere at work are also fundamental. And of course, the location of the company is also
crucial. Would you work far from home, in a rural area, or in an expensive city? All of this matters
when we look for a job.
4. What jobs are more popular with women?
Well, I think that we usually picture women as nurses or teachers, especially for young children
in kindergarten, because most women are definitely more considerate and patient than most men. I
guess this is the stereotypical
(=
conventional) idea society has of women. In addition, I think that
in the business world, many women in my country work for the HR(= the Human Resources)
department because people think the jobs require a lot of people skills based on communication,
planning and patience. However, nowadays, you can find women in every field. Women work as
police officers, managers, surgeons, and some of them also set up their own companies
.
Things
have changed.
5. What factors should be considered when facing the age of retirement?
We should consider the number of years people have been working. If someone starts working
at the age of 18
,
he or she should be entitled to retire at an earlier age than someone who got a PhD
and started work at 26
.
In addition, the government should also take into consideration the work
people actually do
.
Whether the job is physically difficult or mentally stressful makes a
difference
.
Firemen who risk their lives very often should be allowed to retire earlier. I think it
should be the same for most manual laborers whose jobs are physically tiring. On the other hand,
office workers can probably work longer because their jobs are supposed to be easier. I guess in
China, the government has difficulty because they need to bear in mind the large population of our
country. If we ask older specialists to stay in office, they will be able to train young people longer,
but at the same time, they should retire to offer more jobs to the younger generations. It's quite a
dilemma (= a tough problem).
