Tengo 50 años ¿y qué?. Dificultades y estrategias en el retorno al mercado de trabajo

Abstract

Is not the same as unemployed, a person of 23 years or with 50 or more. Theirs opportunities, needs, and circumstances … are different. The basic attitude/start is also different in both cases. The topic of the age becomes a “handicap”, when in fact, it should be taken into account, as a “value-added”. “The experience is a degree” is a Common phrase. On the other hand, if the process for finding a job, it takes a long time, it becomes extremely complicated return, because the frustration “leave track”. To the own loss of motivation, directly related to the time in unemployment, adds a number of factors that can create more difficulties, such as age. Let me be clear, the age cannot be changed. Nothing can be done to reduce. Our Age, is only our “biological” fact. Although the difficulties may be more than the benefits, we must be able to focused, on what we can offer as worker, and try to minimize the factor of age. The work acquires a meaning relevant to people older than 45, 50 age. As conclusion the access to employment must be a resource to meet different needs: basic, personal, family, etc.
