Çalışma Yaşamında Yaş Ayrımcılığı ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde Yaş Ayrımcılığı Düzenlemesi Üzerine

Abstract

Ayrımcılık, kişilere, bazı kişisel özellikleri veya belirli sosyal gruplara üye olmaları nedeniyle farklı ve haksız davranılmasıdır. Dezavantajlı bazı kişileri veya grupları etkileyen süreçlerden oluşmaktadır, tanımlanması da zor ve açık değildir. Çalışma yaşamında kişilere yaşları nedeniyle diğer kişilerden farklı davranılmasına yönelik önlemler alınmakla birlikte yaş ayrımcılığı varlığını sürdürmektedir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde uzun bir süredir uygulanan yaş ayrımcılığı düzenlemeleri bulunmaktadır. Yapılan düzenlemelerle kişilerin çalışma yaşamında yaşları nedeniyle ayrımcı davranışlarla karşılaşmaları önlenmek istenmektedir.
