Looks at how both young and old can be penalised by prejudice against their age group. This title is of interest to practitioners responsible for HR issues, finance, operations, service delivery, quality and customer relations, and for those with a policy focus or academic interest in diversity issues.

“Age Discrimination” looks at how both young and old can be penalised by prejudice against their age group. Following recent changes in the law, the issue of age discrimination has come to the fore. The new legislation will extend legal oversight of age-related discrimination to the provision of facilities, goods and services, as well as employment. Professor Sargeant provides a thorough review of the consequences of these changes and their implications for businesses and service providers, public or private. This comprehensive new book, like its predecessor “Age Discrimination in Employment”, is essential to practitioners responsible for HR issues, finance, operations, service delivery, quality and customer relations, and for those with a policy focus or academic interest in diversity issues.

Malcolm Sargeant is Professor of Labour Law at Middlesex University, UK, and author/co-author of Employment Law (Fifth Edition) 2010, Essentials of Employment Law (TenthEdition) 2009, Questions and Answers on Employment Law (Fourth Edition) 2011, Age Discrimination in Employment 2007, Age Discrimination in the EU (2008).
