Synopsis

This timely book presents a considered analysis of age discrimination provisions and outlines constructive guidance as to how they might be reformed. It highlights the prevalence of age discrimination for all age groups but especially against older persons, demonstrating the importance of effective legal protection for this cohort - especially when age discrimination intersects with other grounds.



Helen Meenan and Christa Tobler bring together expert scholars and legal practitioners to critically analyse how older persons are protected from age discrimination in legal frameworks internationally, regionally and nationally, appraising strengths and weaknesses in each system. In addition, the contributors to this volume include unique office-holders who enable the voices of older people to be heard. By critically examining where protection from age discrimination is now, where it needs to go and how best to arrive there, the authors highlight that protection from age-based prejudices is crucial to the full enjoyment of all human rights by older people. This book allows age discrimination to be appraised from varied yet complementary perspectives, reinforcing the importance of protecting victims of all backgrounds from age-based discrimination.



This book is an essential tool for students and academics in fields such as human rights, employment law, discrimination law and gerontology. Its practical approach will also greatly benefit health and social protection researchers, law makers and policymakers, as well as NGOs, human rights institutions and organisations, and care institutions interested in tackling systemic ageism and protecting older persons from age discrimination.
