Vitamin Happiness: The secret for middle-aged workers amid the AI wave and the younger generation

In middle age, many workers are facing pressure from family and work. As AI technology and the younger generation are changing the game, what is the right perspective for middle-aged workers to overcome the crisis and affirm their self-worth?

The recent program "Vitamin Happiness" provides insights into the pressures that middle-aged workers are facing, from the burden of the "sandwich generation" to the fear of being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) and age complexes at work. The program has the participation of actors: Hong Trang, Hoang Hai, Phan Nhu Thuy...

The burden of the "sandwich generation"

First of all, it is the pressure that comes from the role of the "sandwich generation" - people who have to bear the double responsibility of taking care of young children and elderly parents. The story of the character played by actress Hong Trang is a typical example when she has to manage between a sick child, a stressful job and parents in the countryside who are often hospitalized.

According to psychologist Dr. Bui Hong Quan, the key to overcoming this period is to stay calm, see this as a natural law and an opportunity to show filial piety, and at the same time know how to balance work, family and self-care to find happiness.

Fear of being "eliminated" by technology

Not only do middle-aged workers face the burden of being replaced at home, they also face the fear of being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) at work. The rapid development of technology raises the fear that when AI helps reduce the workload, they will be the first to be cut.

However, Dr. Bui Hong Quan advises that instead of being afraid, workers should proactively learn to master the technology. He emphasizes that AI is just a tool and cannot replace creativity, empathy and soft skills such as communication – which are the strengths of experienced workers.

Ageism and the solution

In addition, these two challenges are exacerbated by ageism in an increasingly youthful work environment. Feeling out of place and disrespected when their experience is overlooked can cause older workers to lose confidence.

To solve this problem, Dr. Quan believes that there needs to be a compromise from both sides. Experienced workers need to be open to updating new knowledge to avoid falling behind, while the younger generation needs to respect and learn from the practical experience of their predecessors. A harmonious combination of experience and technology, between generations will be the optimal solution to build an effective and sustainable working environment.

“Vitamin Happiness” not only brings laughter through situational comedy skits but also suggests a lot of useful knowledge. With the participation of familiar artists and the accompaniment of experts, the program skillfully balances entertainment with legal knowledge, family education , and community health.

“Happiness Vitamin” airs at 7:45 p.m., Monday to Saturday every week on THVL1 channel. Each episode carries a familiar message, reminding the audience about kindness, integrity and legal behavior in society.
