| Annotation | Under the European Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (Council Directive 2000/78/EC), age discrimination in employment and vocational training will become unlawful on 1 October 2006. This Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is part of the final consultation on the draft Employment Equality (Age) Regulations, and considers the impact of age discrimination legislation on employers and individuals, on the macro-economy and the Exchequer. It summarises the current position, sets out the case for introducing legislation and details future impact on employers and individuals. The main options under consideration are fourfold: a) Do nothing; b) Introduce a voluntary code of practice; c) Introduce legislation, without allowing employers to objectively justify some discriminatory practices; and d) Introduce legislation and provide for employers to be able to objectively justify some discriminatory practices.
