How age affect the employability?5 answersAge can significantly impact employability, as shown in various studies. Older knowledge workers face challenges in signaling their potential due to cultural attitudes and age-related evaluations. Age stereotypes indirectly affect the likelihood of hiring older candidates, especially in roles requiring specific skills like computer, physical, social, creative, and training skills. Research on sustainable employability indicates that while age has limited effects on certain dimensions like employability and perceived health, time plays a more significant role in factors such as fatigue, job performance, and skill gap. Additionally, internal employability and age discrimination have a reciprocal relationship among older healthcare workers, impacting their employability chances. Perceived employability and age also moderate the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction, with age playing a crucial role in employees with high perceived employability.
Does farm financial performance increase as operator's age increases?4 answersFarm financial performance tends to vary with the age of the operator. Younger farmers, particularly those in the less-than-30 age group, exhibit higher debt-to-asset ratios but stronger repayment capacities compared to older age groups. Factors such as technology adoption, having a written business plan, and controlling variable costs contribute to higher financial performance for new and beginning farmers, while age negatively impacts financial performance. Older farmers are less likely to experience financial stress, indicating a more stable financial performance with age. Additionally, the age of the operator plays a significant role in influencing mean financial performance, along with risk, financial efficiency, and farm size. Overall, financial performance may increase as operators gain more experience and age, but this relationship is influenced by various factors specific to each age group.
Why no youth employed in agribusiness?4 answersYouth engagement in agribusiness is limited due to various factors such as negative perceptions towards agriculture, lack of access to resources like land, finance, technology, education, and skills. Background factors like age, educational attainment, and marital status also contribute to youth unemployment in agribusiness opportunities. Informal institutions that are unfriendly towards agribusiness discourage youth participation in the sector. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, youth desirability to start an enterprise in agriculture is influenced by factors such as awareness of agripreneurial activities, land ownership, parental involvement, perceived employment opportunities, and entrepreneurial skills. Lack of initial capital, land, market, knowledge, and poor incentives are identified as constraints to youth participation in agribusiness in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Efforts to attract youth into agribusiness should focus on addressing these constraints and providing access to resources, training, and incentives.
