Age Discrimination Law in Employment

在过去，对老年人的负面年龄歧视的根源往往是美国的“现代化”。然而，现代化只是众多重要因素中的一个因素。到目前为止，即使是司法系统中的许多法官和陪审团，对老年原告也存在着强烈的负面年龄偏见。在审视日本就业年龄歧视法的法律结构时，我们应该考虑到美日两国不同的历史和人们的看法。

In the past the origin of negative ageism against older people has tended to be justified simply by "Modernization" in the United States. However, modernization was just a factor among many other important factors. Till now, even many judges and juries in the legal system have a strong negative age bias against old plaintiffs. When reviewing legal structure of age discrimination law in employment in Japan, we should consider the different histories and people's views between the U. S and Japan.
