Abstract

The issue of discrimination against older people on the Polish labor market is a relatively new phenomenon and therefore not fully identified. The need for a closer analysis of this issue acquires particular importance, because demographic projections clearly indicate the progressive aging of the population. In this situation, professional activation and an increase in the employment rate of older people has become one of the priorities of the labor market. The aim of considerations undertaken in the article is evaluation of knowledge of the elderly on discrimination due to age in the labor market and identification of the study population’s experience in this field. To achieve the objective of the study, the research sample examined were people aged 50–65.
