Age discrimination in the workplace survey

Aviva

16 May 2019

This survey finds that more than a third (37%) of employees aged 45 and over believe that age discrimination is an issue where they work. The study among employees and employers also highlights that working for enjoyment and the benefit of social interaction increases with age. Those who are still working in their 60s are more likely than those in their 40s and 50s to be motivated to do so because they enjoy their job, or for the social benefits of interacting with colleagues and others in the workplace.
