This report provides new evidence that ageism and discrimination are having devastating effects on the lives of people as young as forty, with a cost to the economy of up to £31 billion per year. It explores, in detail, the experiences of people over forty trying to enter the labour market, including: people who have been made redundant; the longterm unemployed; women returners; people with disabilities; and people still in a job but needing new skills to keep going. Employers’ attitudes, policies and practices are examined, revealing a worrying lack of awareness of national and European legislation in relation to the employment of older people.
