| Annotation | Age discrimination in employment is alive and well in Australia, but its ramifications are only now being explored. Age stereotyping appears to affect older people, whose situation receives much less attention than youth unemployment, sex discrimination or sexual harassment. The general prevalence of ageism creates a climate in which age discrimination can flourish in spite of legal remedies. The author examines the issues and gives them a human face by using case studies. A preliminary version of this article was presented at the meeting of the International Association of Gerontology held in Adelaide in August 1997. (RH). |
