What is Age Discrimination?

Content: The term encompasses two concepts: a socially constructed way of thinking about older persons based on negative attitudes and stereotypes about aging; and
a tendency to structure society, or from a work perspective, a tendency to structure the workplace based on an assumption that everyone is young. The result of such stereotyping and assumption of youth is that society and workplaces fail to respond appropriately to the real needs of older persons. Ageism has the ability to impact an individual’s confidence, job prospects, financial situation and quality of life. Employment Equity legislations protect persons over the age of 40 from ageism in employment, but it is often difficult to prove. The EEOC protects individuals from being discriminated due to age. The key is to have proper documentation to support your case. What is Age Discrimination? Age discrimination is when an employer treats an individual unfairly or unfavorably because of their age.
