Generation Y most negative towards older staff

Generation Y are most likely to discriminate against older colleagues and those who work flexibly, according to a new report.

The findings from employment law solicitors Doyle Clayton interviewed 1,000 employees across a range of organisations and found millennials are also most likely to feel they have suffered sex discrimination.

16.3% believed that workers over 60 were less valuable than other colleagues, more than twice as many as any other age group.
