Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to increase understanding of the nature and prevalence of discriminatory experiences in the workplace, focusing on issues of age and gender. METHODS: The concept of everyday discrimination was operationalised in a survey of a representative sample of Australian workers. RESULTS: It was observed that overall, experiences of everyday discrimination were rare. Among men, such experiences declined with age, whereas for women almost no age differences were observed. CONCLUSION: It is argued that the nature of labour market age barriers has been misunderstood and the extent of discrimination faced by older workers possibly overstated.
