The Older Worker

The Batik of Nova Scotia nionthh lct- ter notes, as a matcr of cont-crn, thc ap- parently incrcasing prcfcrcncc for youngcr workers in almost cvciy ficld across Can- ada, with 40 or 45 tcnding to hc the maxi- mum hiring agc, and with thc emphasis on retirement at 60 or 6.3. Thc figures are dis- quieting because thcy indicate "a tendency to make less use of the working capacities of an increasingly large part of thc nation.”

It is significant that only t32"n of all men over 55 are now in the labour force as compared with 7.39 in 1931. Of thosc in the oldest age group, 65 and over, near- ly 60'? were gainfully occupicd 30 ycars ago, as comparcd with loss than 40"n to- day. That these declines are. at least in part the result of greater employment difficulties for older workers is corroborat- ed by the fact that people 45 and over are I disproportionate number of the totalAjob- less. and that those who losc their jobs tend to remain unemployed longer than younger pefsons. lndccd, one of the chief difficulties facing thc Eniploymcnt. Scrvicc in recent years has been the tcndency of employers to reject oldcr applicants.

Despite their many advantages. says the Rank Letter, it is nevertheless true that the rapidly rising number of pension plans has tended to increase the employment diffi- culties of the older worker. because of the heavy pension cost involved in hiring him. At the same time. coliipLilsot"y rctircnicnt

does mean that. many people are being rc-N

moved from the labour force regardles of their capacity for further useful work. There are, however, a variety of other rea- sons why less and less use is being made of the skills and r-xpericnce of the older work- or. Among these are the gradual decline in the number of skilled handicraft trades in which years of experience were an as- set, and the decline in opportunities for self- employment. Even in farming. which has always offered unusual opportunities for thc aontinued activity of older men. this trcnd is becoming evlclcnt in the increasing si7.r- of farms and the failing number of farm operators. In other industries as well, the man who operates his own business is usual- ly able to continue working longer than thou wago or salaried employee. And yet tho

iternational seminars in 1950 at Macdon- aid Collegc near Montrcal. and at Brussels. vThe first was on the teaching of gcography. the second on history textbooks. In 1951 a third seminar, on the teaching of history, was held at Sevres near Paris. attended by -62 participants from 31 countries. Unesco is now preparing a fourth sem- ,inar, on the teaching of modern languages iin primary and secondary schools, and on tthc role of such teaching in the universi- lties. as a contribution to general training :in the humanities. It will bc held at Nu- twara Eliya, Ceylon. in August, and will be ,attended by about 70 experts designated by .i.'nesco's Member States. Professor Theo- ldorc Andersson of Yalc l'nivcrsity will be the chairman.

It is obvious that childrcn through learning foreign languages become better .able to understand peoples other than their Iown. Nevertheless teaching methods all too often constitute a stumbling block. They cause teachers and pupils in run the risk of losing sight of the final goal: this is to become imbued with the spirit of a foreign language in order to understand the lculture and form of thinking which it re- 'flects.

Never ,bcfore had the British Parliament extended lthn. income tax to those islands known, prophetically no doubt. to the Romans as ,the "Isles of the Blest". : The reaction of the Islanders, recorded in the London prcss, has been marked. lsome are selling out and going in search of new Utopias. Others are reflecting that lnot since the time of the Phoenician tin 'tradcrs has so grcat a disaster overtaken. i thcm. ' Thc one thing of which the Islanders lmay be sure is the sympathy of the rest lot the world. With the British income tax standing at some 9 shillings in the pound, there might haw been a case for applying. the tax in instalmcnts. .
