YLE: Age discrimination is pushing some out of working life in Finland

AGE DISCRIMINATION is continuing to push people out of working life in Finland, reports YLE.

“Age discrimination is making it more difficult for experienced employees to get work and continue their career. About 10 per cent of over 55-year-olds say they have experienced age discrimination at work,” Mervi Ruokolainen, a special researcher at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, stated to YLE in October.
