The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law enacted in 1967 with the primary purpose of protecting workers aged 40 and older from discrimination based on age in the workplace. The ADEA prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants on the basis of age in various aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training opportunities. The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees, including private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor organizations. The law aims to promote equal opportunities for older workers, combat age-based stereotypes and biases, and foster a fair and inclusive work environment for individuals of all ages.
