It seems that, compared to younger adults, older workers are disadvantaged in the labour force and this is
due to stereotypical views about older employees (Harris, 1990). A report on ageism in Britain by Age
Concern England, based on interviews with 1843 people throughout the UK, revealed that more people had
suffered from age discrimination than any other form of discrimination (Age Concern England, 2005). The
UK government believes ageism and age discrimination to be a problem, stating that it is “bad for the
individual, bad for business and bad for the economy” (Department for Work and Pensions, 2005, p. 19)
whilst Folger and Cropanzano (1998) believe any form of injustice to be detrimental to organisations and
employees. Furthermore, an OECD (2004) report into ageing and employment policies in the UK identified
age discrimination as a widely perceived problem.
