Older people are facing shocking levels of discrimination in their working lives, according to research from the Centre for Ageing Better.
The survey of 1,100 employees found that a significant number of older workers (those aged over 50) believe there are biases against them from the recruitment state - nearly half (46%) said they are afraid that their age would disadvantage them when applying for a job, and 14% think they have been turned down for jobs as a direct result of their age.
