DISPATCHES: TOO OLD TO WORK
With the number of unemployed in the UK nudging two million, Dispatches reveals the ageism that is rife among employers and recruitment agencies. The investigation reveals that being ‘older’ – even just over 45 years old is a risk in the workplace. Older workers are more likely to lose their jobs and fail to secure another position. Dispatches carries out an experiment, pitching two accountants – a 57-year-old father and his 25-year-old daughter – in a contest to see who can achieve the most offers of work from agencies.
