Discrimination, labour markets and the Labour Market Prospects of Older Workers: What Can a Legal Case Teach us?
As governments become increasingly concerned about the fiscal implications of the ageing population, labour market policies have sought to encourage mature workers to remain in the labour force. The âhuman capitalâ discourses motivating these policies rest on the assumption that older workers armed with motivation and vocational skills will be able to return to fulfilling work. This paper uses the post-redundancy recruitment experiences of former Ansett Airlines
flight attendants to develop a critique of these expectations. It suggests that policies to increase
older workersâ labour market participation will not succeed while persistent socially constructed age- and gender- typing shape labour demand. The conclusion argues for policies sensitive to the institutional structures that shape employer preferences, the competitive rationality of
discriminatory practices, and the irresolvable tension between workersâ human rights and employersâ property rights
