Ageism Affects All Workers 18-80 - Part 5

  Ageism Affects All Workers 18-80 - Part 5 - Young Women

The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 protects those over 40 years of age. It is very difficult to enforce. By definition, the law provides no protects to those under 40yo. For example, young women are disproportionately affected by bias. "Over half of women under 30 say their age has negatively impacted them in the workplace."1 Women feel the pinch both at the beginning of their careers and once they transition to "older" status.

I will be posting about how ageism affects younger workers for the next several business days.  

Wish to provide an example. Please provide a comment.
