| Saatchi and Saatchi, one of the top advertising agencies in the world. You don't have to be young to work here, but it helps. Most people in the advertising industry are under age of 35 and that seems to be because a lot of the work that we do is targeted at people of that age as well. In the UK about a third of people over 50 do not work. By 2006 it will be illegal to sack someone because of their age but that decision won't be straightforward. The government has got to decide when it is and it isn't reasonable to judge someone on their age. This bar, for example, thrives on its trendy, young image, and that reputation helps the profits. I think the government should understand that part of what makes us successful is our ability to recruit, youthful members of staff, members of staff who have a particular energy, a particular attitude, and without having that freedom, I don't think we'd be as successful as we are. When it comes to recognising the youth isn't everything. B&Q is ahead of the game. A fifth of staff are over 50. Peter Cook, age 71, is one of them. Since I've joined, I found that I've really made myself very useful member of the community in B&Q. The younger staff certainly appreciate what I'm doing and they continually come to me for advice. In the UK now, more of us are over 60 than under 16, and we have a skills shortage so, some argue, the future belongs to older people. Sue Littlemore, BBC News. | |
| SUE LITTLEMORE: Saatchi & Saatchi (萨奇广告）是全球最顶级的广告公司之一。在这里工作你不一定要年轻，但年轻是优势。 MAN 1：广告业内人士大多35岁以下，似乎是因为我们做的大量工作也是面向该年龄段的人。 SUE LITTLEMORE: 在英国，约三分之一50岁以上的人不工作。到2006年为止，因年龄问题而解雇人是非法的，但该决策并不直截了当。政府必须决定根据年龄裁判人员这条何时合理何时不合理。 SUE LITTLEMORE: 比如这家酒吧以时髦年轻形象而兴盛，声誉带来财源。 MAN 2：我想政府应该明白我们能成功，部分是靠我们能招收，年轻的员工，有非凡精力，特别态度的员工，如果没有这种自由，我想不会像现在这么成功。 SUE LITTLEMORE: 说到认识到年轻绝非一切，百安居走在前列。 五分之一的员工超过50岁。71岁的Peter Cook是其中一员。 PETER COOK: 自我加入以来，我发现我真正使自己成为百安居社区的有用成员。年轻的员工们真心感激我所做的，他们不断来向我咨询意见。 SUE LITTLEMORE: 现在的英国，60岁以上的多于16岁以下的，而且我们缺少技术，所以有人争辩，未来属于老一辈的。 英国广播公司 Sue Littlemore 的报道。 |
