Private companies prodded to hire more senior citizens in enabling bill | Butch Fernandez

Congress was asked to frontload passage of an enabling law expanding equal employment opportunities for physically able elderly citizens, mandating private companies to hire more able elderlies.

“There is a need to provide opportunities for our senior citizens who are still able and willing to obtain gainful employment and wish to continue to become economically active and productive during their golden years,” the senator stressed. Removes the provision that the annual income of the senior citizen should not exceed the latest poverty threshold, to encourage employers to hire senior citizens from all walks of life, as long as they are able, willing and qualified to do the job.

“Given the foregoing,” Villanueva is confident “this bill will contribute to the benefits of millions of senior citizens who wish to remain economically active and productive.”
