Description
Explores the age stereotypes that lead to discrimination. It looks at the economic, business and individual rights grounds for government action, and at contentious issues like mandatory retirement. It questions whether the 1970s litigation model of discrimination legislation the government proposes will deliver the vast change in culture and practice needed.
