Identifies legislation against age discrimination in employment in 13 countries.
Full Description
The UK is committed to legislating against age discrimination in employment and, under the EC Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation, is expected to have legislation in place by December 2003. This important study looks at what can usefully be learned from other countries' experiences, and analyses the options for the UK. It identifies legislation against age discrimination in employment in 13 countries, and looks in detail at Australia, Canada and the United States where legislation has been established for some time. Transitions after 50 series People are living longer, yet increasingly are leaving working life well before the state retirement age. The Joseph Rowntree Fountain programme, Transitions after 50, explores people's experiences, decisions and constraints as they pass from active labour market participation in their middle years towards a new identity in later life. Reports in this series look in particular at issues about work, income and activities beyond work during this period of transition.
