The Fearful Curse of 35 Haunts Chinese Workers

In China, the age of 35 is considered a turning point for workers, as many companies believe they lose their appeal and productivity after this age. Age discrimination in hiring is not illegal, with most civil servant positions explicitly stating job openings are for those 35 and under. Younger workers are favored due to being less expensive and more willing to work overtime. This trend is particularly apparent in the tech industry, where developers over 35 are considered too old to handle demanding work schedules. The job market for older workers has become increasingly challenging, leading to frustration and a sense of hopelessness among those affected.
