Ageism in work. 21st century racism?
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 9:22AM We have gone a long way to eradicate racism. We now need to make the same progress to eliminate ageism from corporate life. On Monday night I watched Channel 4's "Dispatches" programme on this subject ("Too old to work") and it was depressing viewing. Those of us in the same age bracket (or heading there) as those featured in the programme should shudder. Why are we not out on the streets with placards? The programme clearly showed that this is a issue in society at large, but - to take the way we dealt with racism as an example - you only change society by changing laws. The now familiar responses to job applications ("You're too experienced", "You'd be bored") showed that business just doesn't get it. The public sector is no better.
I'm lucky in this regard. A long time ago I decided that I would like to have a career where I could work independently, and work for as long as my enthusiasm and energy allowed. That's why I moved into management consulting. But many of my friends and associates have come into consulting after redundancy, where they have found that getting a job again is next to impossible, as the programme amply showed.
The answer should not have to be that everyone becomes a consultant, even though that may suit many. The answer is to change employment law to make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of age. Period.

This is understandable that cash can make people disembarrass. But what to do when somebody has no cash? The only one way is to try to get the mortgage loans and college loan.
