Is there at least some explicit legislative prohibition of workplace discrimination based on age?

Map reflects policies in place as of August 2016. Updates of these data are currently in progress.

The term “age” includes broad references to ‘age’ and specific protections for minors, the elderly, or individuals above a certain age. For the purposes of this variable, the term “age” captures all of these definitions.

No means that country legislation does not explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of age broadly, nor specifically against discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and/or demotions, terminations, nor harassment.

Yes means that country legislation does explicitly prohibit at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of age.
