| According to an online survey by the Age and Employment Network (TAEN), only 10% of jobseekers aged 50+ say they had never experienced age discrimination when looking for work and just 13% thought the age discrimination legislation introduced in October 2006 had helped older people find work. In a survey of 370 jobseekers aged 50+ carried out between January and September 2008, a majority highlighted employers’ perceptions as a factor which had contributed most to their difficulties in getting work. Nearly two-thirds (63%) believed they were seen as too old by employers and 42% said they were seen as too experienced or over-qualified. More details are generally available exclusively to subscribers of Perspective, the electronic pensions legal & regulatory information and news service. To read the summary, subscribers should launch Perspective and navigate via the Table of Documents to PensionSurveys >> Oct 2008 or click here (this link will not work in all circumstances).
