Recent changes to the law mean that the issue of age discrimination now bears dramatically on businesses and service providers of all descriptions. This new book examining the consequences comes from the author of an important earlier one on age and employment. Malcolm Sargeant's Age Discrimination in Employment provided an encyclopedic guide to the nature of age discrimination in the workplace in a number of countries, along with a discussion of the main thrust of then current employment law in this area. It explored multiple discrimination, where age links with questions of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability, and it has become an indispensable work of reference for HR professionals and employment lawyers. This new book still considers age discrimination in the employment context with some new insights relating to retirement and pensions. Importantly, though, Professor Sargeant also considers the consequences of new legislation extending legal oversight of age related discrimination to the provision of any facilities, goods and services. This has significant implications for all businesses and all service providers, public or private. This comprehensive new book will prove essential to practitioners with responsibility for HR issues, finance, operations, service delivery, quality and customer relations, as well as those with a policy focus or academic interest in diversity issues.
