Should age discrimination be made illegal in the workplace?

[ankitgokani]

Age discrimination occurs when a decision is made on the basis of a person’s age. In the workplace these are most often decisions about recruitment, promotion and dismissal. Although such discrimination could be seen in a reluctance to hire workers who were perceived to be too young and immature for the job, in practice it refers to a bias against older workers. In societies that celebrates youthfulness above almost all else, it can be very difficult for even highly qualified professionals to find new positions after the age of 50.

I feel that age discrimination is something that is going to affect most the people who are already distressed. also, any organisation has to have a mix of experienced and youthful people for success as experience comes with age and is a great teacher.
