According to new data, ageism in the workplace is on the rise with a quarter of HR professionals now classifying workers aged 51 to 55 as older.
The report produced by the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Australian Human Resources Institute found many employers were reluctant to hire workers over the age of 50, which restricted their access to valuable skills and experience.
It comes as another survey finds that half of GenZed believes that anyone over the age of 40 is old.
