( there is usually a reason) i.e why would they prefer a younger worker vs the elderly? Re implication: so they are criticised but.... aren't they acting on the criticism ? what criticism- aren't there many schemes ( i don't disagree, but we need more explanation. https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696574 royston ]]> 2019-03-13 02:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696574 https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696602 kaijie]]> 2019-03-13 02:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696602 Ms Veena: Hi Calista: I like how you say the argument is not applicable in Singapore because the government works to help them get retraining.

You can perhaps spend sometime thinking about the implications of this on diff segments- But a great start https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696770 faith]]> 2019-03-13 02:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696770 Dashiell https://padlet.com/veenabharwani23/pb9y3cw9jx6y/wish/340696773 Ms Veena: You are right- The govt is concerned about their ability to work  and cost of living is a huge concern- It is unsettling to see old people working in difficult conditions to support themselves.

But what you can work on ( in this case) is how does demand for manpower impact the elderly? make that link clearer. So employers are looking for the elderly?
