Discrimination in access to work due to age – an elderly person at work. Discrimination due to age is called the English term ageism. This concept is defined as a set of phenomena related to stereotyping and discrimination of people due to their age. Ageism means a set of beliefs, prejudices and stereotypes based on the biological diversity of people that relate to the competences and needs of people depending on their age. Ageism manifests itself particularly in the area of labor law as: age discrimination in the recruitment process, discrimination in access to training in employment, dismissal after reaching retirement age, encouraging discrimination in the workplace, harassment of older people in the workplace, a period of protection in the labor market as a barrier to employment. Ageism is thus a social phenomenon defined legally and recognized on a legal basis as an event subjected to a negative assessment. This article is an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of discrimination in access to work due to age.
