Diversity and Equality Law Committee
(Lead)
There are hugely varying protections for age discrimination around the world. In a situation where most of the developed economies have ageing populations, what is the best approach to achieve intergenerational equity? This session will address the importance and difficulties of integrating the next generation into the workplace. In some jurisdictions, the compulsory retirement age is challenged in court, some others try to impose mechanisms ensuring ‘relay between generations’ and additional pension support to allow access to employment to younger generations, others generally prohibit a default retirement age, and employers’ organisations struggle in finding the way and sometimes try to implement their own retirement policies.
