LMS Discrimination: Age discrimination

Age Discrimination

"Age discrimination is what occurs when an employer

uses age as a determining (and negative) factor in a job-related 

decision. For example, age discrimination takes place when

an employer denies an applicant a job based on age. Similarly, 

age discrimination occurs any time an employer denies training,

promotions, or any other opportunities based on age" (McCann 46).
