| Annotation | The Changing Ageing Partnership (Cap) commissioned this research which was conducted between February 2008 and February 2009. The aim was to examine the laws in other countries to see how they protect people against discrimination on the grounds of age when accessing goods, facilities or services. The aim was to see if such laws could be implemented in Northern Ireland. The four jurisdictions examined - the Republic of Ireland, Canada, the United States, and Australia - have similar legal systems to that of Northern Ireland; and in each, the law was found to protect older people against this form of discrimination very effectively. The report notes widespread support throughout Northern Ireland for the need to do more to ensure older people's rights are protected and promoted and to reform the law accordingly. (RH). |
