| Annotation | The UK is committed to legislation against age discrimination and, under the European Union (EU) Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation, is expected to have legislation in place by December 2003. This 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 OECD member states: the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Finland and the Republic of Ireland all have extensive legislation; and Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal and Sweden have limited legislation. The report considers age discrimination legislation in Australia, Canada and the US in detail. The evidence was discussed at a workshop in March 2001 to refine the findings of the study, which is part of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's (JRF) Transitions After 50 Programme. (RH). |
