| Annotation | The United Kingdom has committed itself to legislate against age discrimination in employment for the first time, by signing up to a European Directive (Council Directive 2000/78/EC). A number of countries already have such legislation. These Findings report on a study carried out by Zmira Hornstein, "Outlawing age discrimination: foreign lessons, UK choices" published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by the Policy Press. The study looked at what can be learned from those countries' experiences, and analysed the options for the UK in designing age discrimination laws. The study identified legislation against age discrimination in employment in 13 countries, and looked in detail at three - Australia, Canada and the US - where it has been established for some time.
