Retrieved from: http://www.management-issues.com/2006/9/29/research/ageism-rife-across-europe.asp
Ageism rife across Europe: "ature German and Spanish workers appeared most likely to be discriminated against, with 59 per cent and 54 per cent of those polled respectively saying their organisation was.
By contrast, just 22 per cent of Belgians and 35 per cent of French workers polled felt their company had a similar attitude.
'The issue of age discrimination is a hot topic within the recruitment world,' said Alan Townsend, chief operating officer for Monster UK & Ireland.
'From the initial job posting right through to the HR handbook, organisations must be mindful that they are not discriminating against any potential recruits based on their age.
'Having a workforce that is age diverse is an indicator of good practice within a company.
'Furthermore, as we head towards the 'knowledge economy' the more experienced employee brings a superior level of understanding and a richer skill set - which benefits the company as a whole,' he added.
An inclusive approach towards recruiting was most prevalent in Norway, with 41 per cent of workers polled saying their company had a balanced view towards the ages of their recruits.
This was closely followed by Danish workers (40 per cent), Ireland (35 per cent) and Belgium (33 per cent)."
