In Canada I’ve heard so many people say that their promotions stopped after 45 years of age and they are well educated and current? Is it legal for companies to practice ageism?
Section 15(1) of the Charter carries an equality clause which says: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability” (emphasis added). But totally, age discrimination is not considered severe as other forms of it in any place, so as in employment and workplace.
