The Employing Older Workers report, overseen by the Australian Human Rights Commission, found that age discrimination is occurring at an alarming rate in Australia.  Research revealed 32% of Australian employers continue to specify an age limit for job applicants, despite this being illegal.  Moreover, 30% of those employers will not employ people over 50, despite two thirds acknowledging that this protocol has lost the business valuable skills and intellectual property.  Note: the data in the report is not gendered.
