I was watching a program about age discrimination in the UK where people over sixty were saying that it was very difficult for them to find a job or they were forced to retire when they reach the age of 65. I tought about Peru, where it’s difficult to find some types of job when you are 35 and some job adverts even say that the age for a job is from 25-35.

Some job adverts even advertise that they require people from 18-25 for working in a bank for example, because they prefer young people to serve the customers. It is not just age that is a problem, the descendents of the white spanish find it easier to get jobs than people from native or mixed backgrounds.
