"One million over-50s forced out of work by age discrimination", 10 Feb 2015

A damning new report has claimed that one million over-50s have been forced out of jobs because of discrimination against older workers…There are fears that this undercurrent of ageism has seeped into the workplace, with the report [by the charity Business In The Community] showing evidence that approximately one million over 50s have been “pushed out of their previous job” because of ill health, the need to care for family members, redundancy or a pressure to retire early…This has created a difficult situation which has seen millions of over 50s finding it more difficult to return to paid work than “any other age group”…
