Journal Title: Challenges of the knowledge society ( Provocari ale societatii cunoasterii ) - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 12
Abstract
Prohibition of age discrimination is one of the sine qua non conditions of dignified life of any and every citizen. Regardless if we relate to labour or to other domains of public life, namely education, health, culture, participation in decision making process or access to goods and services, people should be equal in rights throughout their lives. The human life cannot be divided into spans in which the violation of human right is permitted and spans in which it is not. Age is always a quality and never a weakness. However, in real life, exclusion, restrictions and limitations of rights based on age criteria are day-to-day occurrences. Age discrimination affects young and less young individuals, women and men, and seems to be accepted in many countries and is even more so accepted in Romania. It is ordinary for a young person or for a person having a certain age to be rejected by the employers or by some of us, in our day-by-day life. The present paper aims to underline the seriousness of age discrimination, to analyse the rights provided by the legal rules and ignored through different practices according to age criteria, to identify legal measures having as purpose to improve the legal regime of equal treatment regarding age criteria in all fields of public life and to overcome the consequences of discrimination based on age.
