We analyze explicit age discrimination in hiring decisions and job seekers' responses in the Chinese labor market, using a large-scale dataset of job postings with ad-level group characteristics of applicants. In nearly 48% of postings, employers explicitly exclude certain age groups, with...

Age discrimination in the labor market is a global issue, and in China, it becomes a pressing concern, particularly in the context of so-called "35-year-old crisis." Departing from the literature that largely relies on resume experiments to identify age discrimination during hiring, I focus on...

Research background: In recent years a demographic crisis has been observed and the inverted age pyramid is hard proof of that. Due to that one can notice a need for a prolongation of the economic activity of older people. However, it is not an easy task in the case of ageism. Purpose: The main...

This study explores how age diversity influences organizational identification, emphasizing the role of HR practices and the perceived age discrimination climate in Polish enterprises. Background: Anchored in social identity and social categorization theories, the study posits that observable...

In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an der Frage zugenommen, wie Algorithmen zu diskriminierenden Ergebnissen führen können, insbesondere in Bezug auf Geschlecht und Race. Bei der Analyse I wurde jedoch der Kategorie Alter und ältere Menschen nicht genügend Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. In...

A key prediction of discrimination models is that competition in the labor market serves as a moderating force on employer discrimination. In the presence of market frictions, however, recessions create excess labor supply and thus generate opportunities to engage in discriminatory behaviors far...

We study the relationships between ageist stereotypes - as reflected in the language used in job ads - and age discrimination in hiring, exploiting the text of job ads and differences in callbacks to older and younger job applicants from a resume (correspondence study) field experiment (Neumark,...

As age discrimination hampers the OECD's ambition to extend the working population, an efficient anti-discrimination policy targeted at the right employers is critical. Therefore, the context in which age discrimination is most prevalent must be identified. In this study, we thoroughly review...

According to estimates based on data compiled and analyzed by the World Bank, the global population of women aged 65 and over as of 2020 was 397 million (an increase of 106 million from a decade earlier), representing 55% of the total global population of persons aged 65 and over (722 million)...

The study examines whether age intersects with gender and race during the initial stage of the hiring process and affects access to vacancies outcomes and wage sorting. In order to answer the research question the study collects data from four simultaneous field experiments in England. The study...

This study uses an original dataset of online mid-career job ads for full-time sales jobs collected from July 2018 to December 2019 to examine the use of explicit and implied age limits on job applicants and characteristics of companies that set them. Although Japanese law prohibits age...

We explore whether ageist stereotypes in job ads are detectable using machine learning methods measuring the linguistic similarity of job-ad language to ageist stereotypes identified by industrial psychologists. We then conduct an experiment to evaluate whether this language is perceived as...

We provide an overview of research that indicates that older women face unique challenges and opportunities with respect to work, retirement, Social Security, and age discrimination law. We present estimates of poverty by age and sex, showing that poverty increases with age for women due to...

I study age discrimination in hiring, exploiting a difference between age-revealed and partially age-blind hiring procedures. Under the first hiring procedure, age is revealed simultaneously with other applicant information and job offer rates are much lower for older than for younger job...

"Of the Americans who have died of COVID-19, 20% have been elderly people residing in nursing facilities--even though they make up less than a percent of the overall US population. Throughout the pandemic, several argued that there was nothing to be done about the people dying in these...

In many cases, retirement leads to a shift in a person’s work-life balance. After all, retirement is often the natural moment at which to stop working. A healthy work-life balance and retirement ought to go hand in hand. The retirement benefit allows for income security, and so retirement can...

Ageism is a prevalent form of prejudice, still more socially accepted than other “isms” (e.g., racism or sexism). It can be defined as negative or positive stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination against others, on the basis of categorizing them as too old or too young. In the workplace,...
