The Value of the Contributions of Elderly Workers in Firms

In Vietnamese reality, it is no longer strange for the elderly to continue working. We still see in the countryside that grandparents continue to do farm work, raise livestock, and take care of gardens without ever stopping. For farmers, there is no concept of retirement age. But they live according to nature, and as long as they are healthy, they can still work; the only thing is to choose the right job. That's why we see the majority of elderly people living long lives in rural areas. The concept of retirement age is only encountered among workers and civil servants, and the retirement age crisis has only recently occurred (Quan, 2023) [11]. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the value of the contributions of elderly workers in firms in Hanoi through survey results. The survey subjects are heads or deputy heads of human resources departments in firms in Hanoi. We use both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Quantitative research methods were carried out with SPSS software, including Cronbach’s alpha analysis. Research results show that the value of the contributions of elderly workers in firms in Hanoi is rated quite highly. Based on this result, the study proposes some recommendations for firms in Hanoi and state management agencies.
