Types of Age Discrimination in the Workplace
One research study involving more than 1,500 older adults showed that almost two-thirds of them said they have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace. And of those, over 90 percent said it is a common occurrence. The federal government recognized the seriousness of discrimination and in 1967 created the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) which forbids age discrimination against people aged 40 and older. This Act protects workers from personnel decisions based solely on age in hiring, layoffs or firing, promotions or demotions. The act applies to all private-sector employers with at least 20 workers. And it applies to all government organizations of any size.
