Lessen the retirement age from 60 years to the previous, 55 years of age.

 There are a lot of people who are qualified with skills, academic papers, and work experience required for them to be enrolled in a certain job. However, there are a lot of restrictions when it comes to people having their work experience from being a volunteer, an intern, and working on pro bono. Why should someone be weighed on if they qualify for a certain position, let alone an entry position if at all the positions are always full? 

 

The age group retiring now at 60 years and others way beyond because they lied while putting in their age are people of generations where jobs were easily accessible. In the past, people used to get out of campus and immediately get a pass into a good formal job in the government or even private organizations. 

 

Things have however changed, there are lots of learned people now. The majority of Kenyans now have acquired an undergraduate degree but the formal jobs are hard to access. One of the reasons for the inaccessibility is that the people who clinched jobs in the past are still holding onto their jobs hence there are hardly vacant positions available. 

 

However, these are completely different generations, the ones without jobs now and with bachelor's and master's degrees are tech-savvy and have a modern approach to getting their jobs done. The government of Kenya has however embraced the use of information communication technology (ICT) in many areas by having ideas such as Ajira Digital being traversed all over the country. 

 

Young people can now find jobs in online spaces, however not all get absorbed by this system. Lowering the retirement age of civil servants and all employees from 60 to 55 will however be the start of lessening the unemployment age if all is done to the advantage of those who have never been employed and the youth group category.
