In 2017, more than 18,000 people reported age discrimination in their workplace. The number of age discrimination complaints changes by year, and if you think 18,000 complaints sound a lot, be aware that in 2008 (during the latest recession), more than 24,000 ageism complaints were filed. 58% of employees say they are aware of age bias when somebody enters their 50’s.
People above 50 are more attuned to discrimination in the workplace, and 33% of people think their age is putting their career at risk. 33% of employees above 45 who feel they could potentially lose their job in the next year believe their age could be the reason.
It turns out that the concern of losing your job due to age discrimination is a genuine possibility since 7% of people state being laid off, fired, or forced out of a job because of age discrimination. 15% of employees do not fancy a manager who is ages 70+. Seniority has its limits, which is particularly interesting since some of the world’s most influential business leaders are between 70 to 95.
1 in 5 employees aged 40+ report not receiving the same opportunity for at least one job due to age discrimination. It’s no wonder it takes older employees way longer to find a job.
