You should have taken up some interesting career like mine. Boredom is not a word in my dictionary.

I don't know any one who works for only 8 hrs a day. All private companies squeeze you for at least 10 hours. And commute takes a lot more than 1 hour, unless you live in a small city.

In those days, the elite group used to work for the Central and the state governments, wherein once you get in, your career is safe till retirement. That leads to formation of two groups, with one group trying to improve upon their knowledge, career throuhg hardwork and the other doing chamchagiri to attain power, position and money.
Also in these govt jobs, you get to attend quality training as people are first hired, then groomed to become productive and alongside their role, they get on-job trainings as well.
Post-91 and til about 2000, when outsourcing started flowing towards India, the hardworking group of the govt jobs, moved to more lucrative ones that offer more challenges, more compensation at the cost of their personal life and job insecurity. The junk had no choice but to remain at govt jobs, some cribbing and becoming losers due to frustrations, and the other job, back-stabbing for success. Overall, govermnent staff effcienty took a huge blow, while the private sectors flourished with the new-found talent.
But in the last decade, as more and more people started getting into these IT/ITES/FINANCE private jobs for money, quality took a backseat. Fake profiles started floating around the job market. Competition among private firms increased. Retaining good talent became a challenge and overall on-the-job training and grooming became a stict no-no. This lead to decrease in quality and today harldy 10% of these employees can prodly call themselves as real deve

10% of these employees can prodly call themselves as real developers/analysts/consultants. Rest all are just highly paid coolies, who can be chucked out anytime during crisis. Jumping jobs is the order of the day and there is no loyaly between company and its employees. This is a dangerous trend and can only go from bad to worse in days to come.
In western countries people as old as 75 years are fit and active in their profession and jobs. However, in INDIA once the age of 40 or 45 is attained they are treated as redundant and unfit, which is so strange and sad. Any remedy for this job scenario? Good suggestions are welcome.

That is because in India lot of younger people available and waiting to do that same work. We have a vast population compared to other countries, so people are forced out of work after they are nearly around 50 of their age and its not the case in countries where population is very limited.

In western countries there are various factors : 1) The Main reason is the Population 2) The working atmosphere 3) The salary and perks 4) People dont hop or change jobs frequently like india. 5) Human values is at its best unlike India, which is horrible. Even today, in cities like Mumbai, delhi, bangalore, and chennai, you can find even an MBA working for a low salary of around 10k. this is why there is too much of job hopping. The indian employers ( particularly the private sector) exploit a lot.TO HELL WITH THE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS, I ATLEAST DONT HAVE EVEN A SLIGHTEST SOFT CORNER FOR MY EMPLOYERS. IT IS JUST GIVE AND TAKE POLICY, I NEVER EVEN SIT FOR A MINUTE AFTER MY WORKING HOURS.

There are strict labor laws in those countries esp european countries. Further there is no population explosion like India. MNCs hire people who are freshers just as we purchase potatoes and tomatos in KG.
