• The Rights of Older Americans

    IN THE PAST, most of us viewed sixty-five as the age of retirement. Today, more
    people are choosing to continue working full or part-time well into their seventies or even
    eighties. Many even change their careers in later life. The contributions of older workers
    testify to their vitality.
    I. Age Discrimination on the Job
    The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) ensures that older workers
    receive equal and fair treatment in the workplace. It protects most workers forty years of
    age and older from arbitrary age discrimination while on the job. It also seeks to support
    the employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age. See
    the chapter titled "Law and the Workplace" for a detailed discussion of the
    ADEA.
