The USA is the fourth largest country in the world. Its population was growing with the rapidity of approximately one or two million a year. In comparison with 1935, when the USA comprised 127 million people, nowadays there are more than 311. The number of population influences many aspects of life in the country. For instance, a social system was provided in 1935. The act concerned the old-age, which emphasized the fact that pensioners would start getting their pensions once retiring age approached. The program also concerned the Disabled and Survivors, explaining that they will receive the corresponding credits. An analysis of the college admission process reveals one challenge facing counselors: that there is a necessity of providing the certain measures to avoid the discrimination of the disabled.
It is necessary to renew the systems and programs previously provided because with the time the surrounding world changes and requires the definite adjustments to be approved. Taking into account the number of people that become, for example, disabled, it becomes apparent that for the variety of reasons they require financial help as due to the physical state they may not be able to work (Moody, 2010-p. 1-391). The necessity of benefitting people with the financial help concerns all the challenge types of the disabled.
However, there are a great number of people that deserve to be credited with the financial help of the state. So, it will be much better for the people if the government assumes a range of programs and systems to make their life more comfortable and not different from the others.
The programs should also refer to the employment matters. For example, the unemployed should receive the social help from the state in the form of unemployment benefits, while a person is in search of a job. It is one of the questions under discussion nowadays. Moreover, the most debated topic nowadays concerns the ages (Moody, 2010-p. 1-391). What is considered better, to employ the younger generation ready to work overtime, although lacking experience or leave the experienced professionals of older age? This appears to be one of the most actual matters that has been always important but undecided. It depends on the employers as they provide recruitment and selection of the personnel according to the range of criteria. Depending on the work the positions require certain abilities and skills. So, it is never a decisive question. Consider a specific example when the unemployment rate in the area is high and many positions are occupied by the older generation. Then what is the optimal way out of this situation in this case?
According to the opinion of the majority of people examined within the research to get the approximate data and the work of Moody H.R.: Aging: Concepts and Controversies, we obtained the findings that it is always better to hire young people, devoted and ready to work overtime instead of keeping the old age holding ranks that could be given to young generation. The old one is not able to comprise the amount of work received. The lack of experience may turn out an advantage as well. For example, an inexperienced employee can learn a plenty of methods, rules and routine completely new for him or her.
In contrast to them, the already formed and developed employee feels difficulties while orienting on a new work profile. Moreover, sometimes they are not capable of refocusing on different specialties and this is one of their strong disadvantages. As a result of the conducted research, a conclusion was made that the best solution in the employment affairs is to enfranchise the positions for the young age and permit the old ones to retire earlier.
