Abstract: The overall quality of life of older people is largely impacted by their participation and engagement in society and remaining active within the work place. This article researches this area in greater depth in terms of the impact of the ever increasing ageing population has on employment opportunities for this group of people and the political and social changes that are being implemented to support this issue. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches looks to investigate key dimensions of age discrimination that can lead to the elder generation being unable to fulfill this requirement. It views the perspective from both employee and employer regarding changes in legislation and how 3 individual organisations have implemented policies to align with these changes and then further explore the employees’ knowledge of this legislation and their rights within the work place.
