Abstract
Looks briefly at the legal framework before considering the changing demographics across the world. Looks at campaigns to help the older worker. Considers the issue of mandatory retirement together with the complexities of age bias and way to prove that this exists. Cites some recent case law and concludes that it will only improve as the demographic moves in favour of the older worker.
