Age discrimination in China's workforce

The podcast episode discusses the issue of age discrimination in China's workforce, where people aged 35 and older struggle to find employment due to discriminatory practices. Chinese companies prefer younger workers as they are more cost-effective, willing to work longer hours, and less likely to have family conflicts. This trend is particularly prominent in the tech industry. However, the podcast raises the question of whether it is wrong to prohibit companies from favoring younger, single, and childless employees. It explores the economic rationale behind this preference and the challenges it poses for older workers seeking financial security and stability.
