Age As an Equality Issue: Legal and Policy Perspectives

Age As an Equality Issue: Legal and Policy Perspectives

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Until recently, age discrimination attracted little social opprobrium. Ageism has now been thrust onto the equality agenda by the spectre of an ageing population and this has led to a range of policies on 'active ageing.' Most importantly, legally binding legislation prohibiting age discrimination in employment will need to be in place by 2006. This book looks at all the issues in a series of chapters by experts from a wide range of disciplines. It begins by examining the nature of the ageing process and then turns to a detailed analysis of the concept of age equality. In the light of this analysis, the following three chapters critically assess employment, education, and health . A separate chapter is devoted to discrimination against children. The last two chapters consider the experience in the US, and other European countries.
