A Louis Harris survey, conducted in 1989, reported that one million workers aged 50 to 64 believed that they would be forced to retire before they were ready. Most of this group, anticipating an unwanted early retirement, said they would prefer to work for years longer. Another Harris survey, conducted in 1992, found that 5.4 million older Americansone in seven of those 55 and older who were not working at that timewere willing to work but could not find a suitable job. These discouraging statistics were cited in The Untapped Resource , a 1993 report on "The Americans Over 55 at Work Program," a 5-year research effort conducted by the Commonwealth Fund to examine the productive potential of older Americans.

Extractions: SACRAMENTO (AP) Legislation giving older workers broader protections against age discrimination by their employers was approved by the state Senate and sent to the governor on Wednesday. The bill, by Assemblywoman Gloria Negrete McLeod, D-Chino, would overturn a state Supreme Court decision that said employers may grant younger workers better benefits than their older counterparts. In a 21-12 vote, the Senate sent the bill to Gov. Gray Davis, who has not taken a position on the measure. It passed the Assembly in January. The court ruling went against a former Union Oil Co. telecommunications specialist who sued the company after it refused to pay his master's degree tuition because he was ``too old to invest in.''

At the level of the individual, issues are more basic such as the security and benefits of employment and self-employment, the ability to maintain technical competence in a changing workplace, and the affordability of retirement.

Extractions: US Gov't Investigating Boy Scouts For Gay Discrimination WASHINGTON, DC, Aug. 31 (CWNews.com) - The US Departments of the Interior and Justice have begun investigating whether the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are violating President Bill Clinton's Executive Order banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, The Washington Times newspaper reported on Thursday. The investigation could lead to the end of BSA programs conducted on federal lands or with the aid of federal agencies. The newspaper quoted a memo from Nattie Silva, assistant director of diversity and equal opportunity for the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation, who ordered agencies to "assist [the Department of Justice] by providing information as it relates to the Boy Scouts of America to ensure consistency with the Executive Order" signed by Clinton on June 23. Silva's memo specifically asks for information about the annual nationwide Boy Scout Jamboree which is held on federal property at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia. The US Supreme Court had ruled in June that the BSA was within its rights to bar homosexuals from serving with the organization. Various pro-homosexual and liberal groups have since organized protests against the Scouts, pressuring companies to end their financial support of the century-old group.

Extractions: NEW YORK (AP) Ron Heater was laid off about two years ago. Despite mailing and hand delivering "hundreds and hundreds of resumes," he says, he still hasn't landed a new job. Heater believes his age he's 49 might be part of the problem. "Most of the time, companies don't even acknowledge my resume was received, or the interviewers are cold and unreceptive" said Heater, a specialist in credit card fraud detection. "I really believe they're looking for the 20- to 25-year-olds who can hold down the fort for quite a bit less money." Age discrimination in both hiring and firing appears to be a growing problem for baby boomers, most of whom are now in their 40s and 50s, despite the protections of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that dates to 1967. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , which enforces the law, said age discrimination is the fastest-growing category of complaints it receives, with 17,405 filings last year. Complaints about discrimination involving disabilities grew at the second-fastest rate.

Extractions: (MADRID, 8 - 12 APRIL 2002) Mr President, Excellencies, Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen: In the 20 years since the first World Assembly on Ageing, the proportion of the Australian population over 65 has increased from 9.6% to 12%. In the next 20 years, it will grow to 18%; and by 2051, it will exceed one-quarter of the population. Ageing is a significant common issue that brings us together in Madrid. While we do not pretend that our experience in Australia is universal, we hope we may learn from one another, acknowledging our differences, but noting that which unites us - most importantly, our common humanity - is greater than that which divides us. Ageing is not an illness, it is a life journey to be embraced and celebrated. In appointing a specific Minister for Ageing, the Australian Government recognises that the social, economic and cultural trends associated with demographic change require a specific focus and whole of government attention. In common with many nations, we are on the threshold of a major population change. From this year the post Second World War baby boom generation will begin to enter retirement. By 2020, they will become the older aged generation - the so-called "fourth age".

Site map Action against ageism: harnessing the potential of older people for development What are the consequences of discrimination against the two-thirds of the worlds over-60s who live in developing countries? How does ageism and stereotyping influence attitudes and allocation of resources at household, community, national and international level? What can be done to ensure that older people benefit from the full range of internationally accepted human rights? A report from HelpAge International, produced in preparation for the 2002 Second World Assembly on Ageing, draws on consultations with older people from around the world to set out a rights-based approach to development. A strong case is made that investment in the productive and social capacities of older people could yield far-reaching results for all ages in terms of community welfare, social cohesion and economic productivity. It argues for the incorporation into international human rights law of the UN Principles for Older Persons and for greater support to older peoples organisations. Ten actions to end age discrimination are set out. Demographic changes rank with globalisation and climate change as the greatest forces reshaping the planet. Global life expectancy, only 45 in 1945, is now 65 and is expected to reach 76 by 2045. By 2050 the proportion of older people in the developing world is set to more than double from 8 to 19 percent, while the proportion of children will drop by 10 percent.

Extractions: An Overview The mission of the EEOC , as set forth in its strategic plan, is to promote equal opportunity in employment through administrative and judicial enforcement of the federal civil rights laws and through education and technical assistance. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) was established by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and began operating on July 2, 1965. The EEOC enforces the principal federal statutes prohibiting employment discrimination, including: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended ( ADEA ), which prohibits employment discrimination against individuals 40 years of age and older; the Equal Pay Act of 1963 ( EPA ), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in compensation for substantially similar work under similar conditions; the Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ( ADA ), which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of disability in both the public and private sector, excluding the federal government;
Extractions: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Reginald Welch Monday, July 31, 1995 Michael Widomski (202) 663-4900 TDD WASHINGTON The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) announced today that the federal district court in Los Angeles gave preliminary approval to an agreement between EEOC and Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA) that resolves a lawsuit charging TWA with pregnancy discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The proposed settlement provides 10 special travel vouchers that may be used for round-trip travel anywhere in TWA's flight system to former and incumbent female flight attendants for each pregnancy covered under the lawsuit. Approximately 1,500 to 2,000 former and present TWA female flight attendants are expected to receive relief under the agreement. The settlement resolves an EEOC lawsuit filed against TWA on September 10, 1976, in federal court in Los Angeles. The suit alleges that TWA discriminated against female flight attendants on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII by maintaining a policy that required them to cease flying and take a leave of absence immediately upon medical confirmation of their pregnancy. After the case was tried, the district court ruled in January 1983 that the TWA policy violated Title VII. Although the parties engaged in efforts to resolve the case, those efforts, which were complicated by TWA's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 1992, were unsuccessful.
